Windows 7 and HP Laserjet 1000

We've been using an HP Laserjet 1000 just fine with our Windows Vista Home Premium. So I just assume it would work with WIndows 7.
So I was startled that the WIndows 7 Upgrade Advisor says the HP Laserjet 1000 isn't compatible with Windows 7.
Is that true? Or is it, I hope, a false warning?

The Laserjet 1000 is not listed in HP's list of supported Windows 7 printers here, but there is a Laserjet 1000 driver available in the RTM version of Windows 7 (or perhaps through WIndows Update).

Windows 7 and HP LaserJet 4 Plus

I have a new laptop with windows 7 and an old (but very reliable) LaserJet 4 Plus printer. I was able to download print drivers from the HP site but it still will not print. I don't get any error messages, just nothing happens when I try to print a document or test page. Do I need to change something else in my settings?
This question was solved.

There are two main areas for issues installing a Laserjet 4 in Windows 7:
Ports. The Laserjet 4 and its derivatives had a standard parallel port but most Windows 7 machines no longer have a parallel port. The most common solution is a USB-parallel converter cable. This can be problematic because many of the converter cables do not support Windows 7. [Edit - the posts flagged here have models of converter cables users in the forum has reported as working in Windows 7.] Additionally, most of the cables have no documentation (or even a brand name) making it difficult to resolve issues. The converter may provide a simulated parallel port such as LPT3: or it may be a port like USB001:. Another option with the Laserjet 4 would be to add a JetDirect card which would provide a network port for the Laserjet 4. This will require the Laserjet to be connected to a router and would provide network access to multiple computers if you wish. A typical JetDirect card for the Laserjet 4 is shown here.
Drivers. The drivers for the Laserjet 4 (and 4M and other derivatives) are delivered through Windows Update. If Windows Update is enabled (as described in step method 2 here under the section to "Configure Windows Update to"...) you may be able to just connect the USB cable and have the driver properly install. If not do the following: click on the Start Orb, Devices and Printers, Add a Printer, then select the appropriate port. When the list of printers comes up click on Windows Update. It will take several minutes for the list to repopulate, once this is complete the Laserjet 4 series printers will be available under HP (not Hewlett-Packard).

Windows 7 and HP3030 Laserjet

We purchased an HP Pavillion with Windows 7 For Home. We already have an HP 3030 Laserjet connected to the Network. Works fine with the Windows XP. New Laptop keeps looking for a driver in Windows Update and cannot find a satisfactory driver. What are we missing here? Help. Is there a historic issue with HP 3030 Laserjet and Windows 7? The HP 3030 is about 5 years old.

Windows Vista and HP Laserjet 6P--installed software but can't print. Item stuck in queue

I have found plenty of answers to my problem relating to Windows 7 but not for Vista.
I picked up a used HP Laserjet 6P which is supposed to be in working order.
I attached the printer with a parallel port-USB adapter and installed the software using the HP Wizard. All looked good but when I go to print, the page stays in queue and the printer windows say Error.
I tried using the HP diagnostic tool but it can't detect the Laserjet 6P.
I tried setting up via a different USB port (USB001 Virtual Port) and creating a new one (Standard TCP/IP Port) but neither worked.
Any idea how I can make this work or is is just too outdated?
Thank you

Hi @harleywish
I wonder if the issue might be related to the print spooler rather than a port. Please try bypassing the spooler to see if you can print directly to the printer.
1. Click on start and go to devices and printers.
2. Right click on the printer and click on printer properties.
3. Choose the option "Print directly to the printer".
4. Click apply and then ok.
If this works follow the next steps and try to print again.
Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box
Type services.msc and press Enter
Locate Print Spooler and double click on it to open the Spooler properties
Make sure startup type is set to Automatic, if it is not please click on the drop down and choose Automatic
Under Service status, please Stop the server, and then wait a moment and click Start
If bypassing the spooler does not result in a successful print, let me know.
Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.

HP LaserJet 1000 Windows 7 (32/64 bit)?!

Hi!
How long company (HP) will ignore HP LaserJet 1000 users?
We need drivers that working on Windows 7!!!
Don't try to ask me buy another - new model of HP printer, because mine is work very well!!!
HP printers working very well, but in case with driver support I'm very disappointed in this company!

For installation of the LaserJet 1000 in a W7 64 bit system, using XP Mode, please see the following link. It also contains information about how to install XP Mode in W7 Home.

Printer driver for an HP LaserJet 1000 series for use with Windows 7

The CD ROM HP LaserJet 1000 series printer driver is not recognized by my new Windows 7 PC. So the printer does not work. I've looked on the HP web site for compatible drives and get the hint that a Vista driver would work. Can someone please confirm if this possible and how this is accomplished? Thanks.

Where did you find a hint that Vista drivers would work? This page says:
Your LaserJet model is not supported in Windows 7.
For more information regarding upgrade programs and new product information, please visit the HP Trade-In/Trade Up website at www.hp.com/united-states/tradein/home_flash.html or directly from HP at www.hp.com .
Additionally, this page says the Laserjet 1000 is not supported in Vista.
If you are using the 32 bit version of Windows 7 it may be possible to download the XP drivers here and install them.

Laserjet 1000 - windows 7 driver solution

All
I have just succesfully found a solution to making the laser jet 1000 work under windows 7 64bit
The trick is that you need a GDI driver and finding a supplier ( other than HP ) who has built one.
Go to the following link and download the windows 7 64 bit driver for the following printer
http://onyxftp.mykonicaminolta.com/download/Search.aspx?ht=
search desktop printer -> magicolor 2430DL ->drivers -> windows 7 64bit ( or whartever windows version you need)
KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 2430DL
install the drivers
Add the printer as you would normally and then open the print queue window and
under printer properties select advanced and under print processor select winprint raw
The reason this works is that this printer uses the same hardware GDI engine as the lasjet 1000
Enjoy
Anthony

The way I have it set up is that my laserjet 1000 is plugged into a seperate old PC running windows 2000 with laserjet 1000 drivers loaded on it as its shared by various household computer ranging from Macbook to XP and now windows7.
I connect to it on windows 7 by adding a local printer and direct mapping it by creating a new port and putting in the box
\\servername or ip address\printersharename
i.e
\\\Printerserver\Laserjet1000
set up the properties as I precviously described and it works fine
Note direct USB connection does not work
If I have some time to kill , I'll see if I can get the direct USB to work

Hp laserjet 1000 series for windows 7

friend, I had a question for you, I have an HP LaserJet 1000 printer series but now I get a new computer with Windows 7, but do I not found hp 1000 printer drivers, pls send me the link or drivers ready

Yes - you can use the Laserjet 1000 with Windows 7. (I have two Windows 7 PCs printing to my LJ 1000).
Case 1 - (Easiest case) If your Windows 7 installation is 32-bit (How to check this)
Solution: Provided by user jriv9 in this discussion
use HP LJ1000 XP HostBased Driver
Just installed it and it works perfectly.
1. exe extracts to a directory of your choice.
2. right click on printer -> properties -> update driver
3. select to search in a specific location and select dir from step one.
Case 2 - If your Windows 7 is 64-bit and you have another PC on your network running Windows 32-bit (XP, Vista or 7)
Solution provided by user Los15 on this forum page. I have tried this and it works. I had to make one change - the port name had to be \\Computer Name\hp Laserjet 1000 DOS
Case 3 - If your Windows 7 is 64-bit and you have no other PC.
You can install the XP driver in XP Mode, and then install the XP driver as for a 32-bit machine.
Solution given by user erpp on this forum page.
Alternative
On same forum page as the XP Mode solution, another solution is given, using another piece of software called PDF Creator.
I'd just like to add my thanks to everyone who has contributed those solutions above. The LJ 1000 is a marvellous workhorse of a printer - the engineers who built it did a good job. It's too bad HP didn't follow their lead and produce 64-bit drivers.

This page lists the supported printers for Windows 7 and there is no entry for the Laserjet 1000 which suggests "If your legacy product is not listed, no support is offered for Windows® 7".

Laserjet 1000 printer driver for windows 8.1

Need help to locate a printer driver for my laserjet 1000. Thanks for the help...

If your Windows 8 is 64-bit I think you are out of luck.
If your Windows 8 is 32-bit, you could try the Windows 7 solutions given in the earlier message. They might work with Windows 8.
The LJ 1000 is indeed a great printer and it is sad that HP has not continued to supported the customers who bought it.

LaserJet 1000 incompatible with Windows 7 (64)

Problem Laserjet 1000 with Windows Vista 32 bit

Good morning. I have a laserjet 1000 connected to the USB port on another computer with windows xp and shared. I have to connect it to another pc with windows vista pc with ip address. Install the printer but does not work. I used the driver for win xp as I read on several forums but it does not work. What kind of driver should I use ?
Can you give me some advice ?
Thank you

Windows XP pro and HP laserjet 1020

I've been trying to figure out how to successfully print from a powerbook to a laserjet 1020 that is being shared on XP. Has anyone successfully configured a mac to work with it? If so, can you help walk me through the steps?
Thanks.

I have a similar problem. I have a 1022,it is attached via USB to my (ugh) Windows XP computer. The Windows box is connected to my router, and I can access and print to the Laserjet via Windows Printing. BUT .... even though I have installed the driver on both the Windows box and the Mac (the HP Laserjet 1022 does not appear on the pulldown menu along with the many otehr HP products) I cannot get it to register as a 1022 when I print from my Mac. I can print ... I lied and told the computers that it was an HP Laserjet 4 ... but my guess is I am losing some functionality. Any ideas? how does one get the 1022 into the dropdown menu?
Thanks!

TUTORIAL: Install HP Laserjet 1000 on Windows 7 x64

I've created a tutorial to install HP LaserJet 1000 printer under Windows 7 x64.
http://laserjet1000.esy.es/
I hope it helps someone.

PCL5 is a rather loose term; for at least the last decade, drivers for new PCL5 printers have been one or the other of:
PCL5e - PCL5 enhanced for monochrome printers.
PCL5c - PCL5 enhanced for colour printers.
Even those terms are not precise, since the set of PCL escape sequences supported by one PCL5e printer may not be exactly the same as those supported by a different model, especially if those models are from different ranges / generations.
