HP Laserjet 1000 driver in 64 bit W7

Success!

Don't know if anyone's still having this problem, but this worked for me, and was actually quite easy (and worked for both my HP LaserJet 1100 AND Canon Pixma iP6000D, neither of which had x64 drivers). When installing my printers as network printers, the "Windows Update" option for drivers was not showing up.

I plugged the printer into my Win 7 PC. Everything installed fine. I then moved teh printer back to its network position. Added the printer as a network printer, just chose the Generic -> Text Only driver (it doesn't matter which you choose). Then I right click the printer and selected Printer Properties. Under Advanced, you can either use the dropdown menu under Driver to select the proper driver, or click New Driver... and THEN the Windows Update option appears.

I did this and everything is working flawlessly.

Hi, I was able to configure the HP laserjet 1000 in win 7 to 64 bit. I have Ubuntu installed via CUPS printer sharing, and taking the driver Generic "MS Publisher Color Printer", I hope they serve, is the only way in which I could configure the printer, a greeting.

Maquibo: Por favor, escríbeme e y explícame bien detalladamente cómo resolviste lo de la impresora LJ1000 en W7 x64 con lo de Ubunto. Gracias, Valentín

I believe the thread was specifically about the HP Laserjet 1000
The Laserjet 1100 did originally have x64 drivers on the Windows x64 installation CD's whereas I believe the Laserjet 1000 has never had x64 drivers of any description.

Okay, so I found a work-around to this problem. The bad part is you need a computer that's able to print to the laserjet on your network, but it works!

Here're the basic steps:

1. Install pdfCreator from PDFCreator | Get PDFCreator at SourceForge.net on your Windows 7 machine. This is a 'virtual printer' that turns anything you send to it into a PDF file. It appears as a regular printer in windows.
2. Create a shared folder on the computer with the printer attached. I called mine 'Spool' and put it in my root directory.
3. Open up PDFCreator and go to Printer --> Options --> Auto Save.
4. Check the 'Use Auto-save' box. Select pdf as the format to use.
5. Check the 'Use this directory for auto-save' box. Enter the shared folder on the other computer that you created in step 2.
6. Close the pdfcreator properties window.
7. Install Batch Doc Print from batch print pdf and doc files,print directory on the machine with the Laserjet 1000 attached.
8. Open Batch Doc Print. Go to Tasks --> Watch Folder.
9. Click 'Browse' and select the shared folder you created in step 2.
10. Check the 'Monitor the folder when windows start up box.'
11. Click 'Add' and then OK.

Now all you have to do is set PDFCreator to be your default printer on your Windows 7 machine and make sure your printer computer is turned on when you want to print! The only downside to this is that Batch Doc Print isn't free, so you have to click 'Try' every time your computer starts up. This doesn't limit it's functionality, so for me it's not a big deal.

OK, you got me thinking about this work around. So I tried it. And it works, but not to my satisfaction. That Batch Doc Print is okay, but annoying and not cheap. So then I had the epiphany! I installed PDF Creator on my XP box instead and set it up as a network printer (so it would download a variety of drivers for 95, 98, xp, vista, win7, etc).

Then I configured PDF Creator to auto-save to a specific folder (using timedate as default name). Then I told it to print after the save to the LJ1000 hooked to it via USB.

Next I set the new PDF Creator printer as a sharable printer.

Next, on my WIN7 I created a new network printer and selected the PDF Creator.

Now, whenever I print I just select the PDF Creator printer and voila! The document is printed on the LJ1000 just like old times.

I hope this is helpful.

I now print my document form Windows 7 64 bit to a laptop XP professional.

Thanks a lot!

Alternate Resolution

The way I got this to work was to print from XP Virtual PC on my 64bit Win 7 machine.

I'm going to try the XP Virtual PC fix though I have no idea where to begin other than doing a search for that software. I have an XP notebook but cannot use it as a print server because it's usually in my warehouse and I don't want to haul it back and forth to the house.

I have a new Win7 64 bit PC and was trying to get my HP Deskjet 1000 series printer to print from my machine and have just discovered what all you already have - that HP is a bunch of asses and I will never buy another HP printer and that's not an emotional statement just pure fact.

In the meantime if this suggestion by monaghk works that would be great - I think.

Windows 7 64-bit and HP Laserjet 1000 solution

I resolved this problem recently. Host the HP Laserjet 1000 on a 32-bit machine like WinXP. Assign this as your print server on your home network. Your Win7 machine will be somewhere on the network. Install the host based drivers on the WinXP machine. Modify the DOS driver and change the port to USB. On the Win 7 64 bit machine, install a new printer as a LOCAL PRINTER (although it is not attched to the Win 7 machine). Create a new port. Local port type. For the port name use \\PrintServerName\PrinterShareName. Click on Windows update button next to update the drivers. Choose HP Laserjet 1100 MS as the driver for the Win 7 machine. Save with whatever name and do a test print.

Laserjet 1000 - windows 7 driver solution
Re: laserjet 1000 - windows 7 driver solution - HP Support Forum

Thanks, I'll try one of these solutions

I wanted to add that the Windows XP Mode with Virtual PC option will work too but I got frustrated using this option. Every time I had to print, I had to fire up the virtual environment and do everything within it. I just thought this was silly and it took up a lot of my hard space. That in turn decreased the performance of my PC. I eventually uninstalled everything.

I think the Virtual PC is good for running old programs or for testing things in an isolated environment but not just for printing. Try telling a family member to fire up the virtual PC just to print things on an older printer. I also didn't want to go out and buy another printer since the HP Laserjet 1000 is very reliable and well built.

Well, sure it's a little bit "tricky" to use this VMXP solution, but that's what we have so far... I had the same drivers problem with my old Canon 6200 flat bed scanner and I found the miraculous program called VUESCAN capable to make run ANY old -usb- scanner (in any OS). God, I wonder if there's something similar out there for Printers! (Please, if somebody found it, please, post it here!). Furthermore, this solution is good non only for the LJ1000 but for ANY PRINTER without W7 x64 support. So thanks to Itig99 and harpagnornis and we'll be waiting for something better... (With their copyright permission of course, I'll translate this for our "partners in the pain" from the Spanish section of this forum).

Well, I am logging in here today to re-research this ancient problem. For those of you hating Hewlett-Packard for its Customer Betrayal Policy, you'll be incensed to know that hp paid out something like a $20-million "golden handshake" bonus to a departing CEO—a woman they didn't like very much, would you believe—the very same year that they lied about their sincerity in producing hp LaserJet 1000 drivers.

My earlier research failed totally with XP64, which was the original quest, although I was able to get the 1000 working with Vista 32-bit. Eventually I found an alleyway-discard Brother DCP 7020 which has worked perfectly with my XP64 ever since. This proves the old adage, "A Brother from the alley is better than a Hewlett-Packard bought and paid for."

For others trying to help here, it has already been said and I want to emphasize, the ONLY printer we are trying to make work is a 1000 hp LaserJet—that and nothing else—because, unlike all models with numbers almost-but-not-quite the same, the LaserJet 1000 is a host-based system working from a different principle. (That principle is one of naive trust in Hewlett-Packard, a company that grabs the money and runs.)

For what it's worth, I'll continue to see what I can do with Windows 7 64-bit and the hp LasertJet 1000. As I said, I failed with XP64. But you never know. And if anyone from hp reads this, please see what you might be able to do in giving your company reason to be able to sleep at night.

Hp 1000

Well for what it is worth I was running windows 7 32 bit and if you manually install the xp driver it works fine.

I upgraded machines and placed windows 7 64 bit on it. I am going to try and see if I can force it to run under xp or Windows 32 bit. If anyone comes up with a solution let me know. This a great little printer and have a ton of toners left so would hate to part with it.

Thanks!!

I too have been totally disgusted with the inability to make this printer work with
Windows 7 x64. Very disappointed in HP.

I have a lj1000 connected to a winxp 32. I want to print from a win 7 64 connected via LAN. I did what you said but with those host based drivers it just setup one printer instead of 2 (being the second that DOS driver). I continued anyway and went to the win7 pc and installed a local printer, local port, \\winxp\hp1000, windows update, hp 1100 MS. everything looks fine but when I send something to the printer it reaches the printer as a low level document or something like that.

Any help? is there a way to setup that DOS printer driver?

Hi Everyone, I have been without my HP laser 1000 since I installed windows 7 x64. I have searched everything I could find to make it work. Almost gave up until today and it is working great I kept playing around and nothing worked then all of a sudden I heard a start noise and it was firing out a printer test page, I tell you I was holding my breath the whole time sure enough I got it to work I know nothing about computers and I did it. There is hope don't believe it won't work, it does.
I have virtual machine with windows xp and my windows 7 both have HP laser 1000 installed: I changed windows 7 HP laser 1000 port to USB, the key to making this work is GDI.EXE. I am sharing what my printer in windows7 test page says maybe this will help some one else.

Hi, Kini: Thank for your post and Congratulations! You finally suceed in making work your HP 1000 in Win7 32 BITS, as I notices in your printer's report (x86). The problem is actually to make it work in a 64 BITS system as the mine (and others). Anyway I'll try your trick in another netbook I have with Win 32 bits. I don't understand something: you wrote "The key is GDI.EXE"... How? Is it to be executed? When? I had done the port change and didn't work. Thanks,

Hello Tocapet,

Welcome to the Seven Forums.

You should be able to use the Vista x64 driver. When you install you may have to use compatibility mode for Vista and Run as admin.

Hey, there's is no VISTA x64 bits drive!!!

HP laserjet 1000 W7 x64

Hi yinyong, my W7 is a 64. "The GDI.EXE compatible with 64" I found on line and downloaded it, it is a system that works with other printers and some how tells hp it can be done, don't give up do you have windows xp on your computer as well?
