Hello Sanchi,

Welcome to Seven Forums.

Have you tried installing in Compatability mode: Info here if needed. Compatibility Mode

Hope this helps.

I see some drivers for Windows 7 at windows update catalog here.
Microsoft Update Catalog

Search your printer name and use the latest by date

hi gary thanks for your reply so you mean that i need to take the driver for vista 64bit and to run it with compatibilty mode?

Yes.

Getting the Laserjet 1010 to work on Win 7 RC+1 (ver. 7201). I am running 32 bit version so I am not sure if this will work for the 64 bit version.

Note: Win 7 shares the same code base as Vista. Since there are not always Win 7 drivers available for devices, I have often found that Vista drivers will work.

I don't know when HP released Vista drivers for the 1010 (had to fight with this dang printer to get those working in the past), but they seem to have them now.

Here are the steps I took to get the 1010 working on Win 7.

Download HP drivers from here:
HP LaserJet 1010 Printer series*-* HP LaserJet 1010/1012/1015 Host Based Driver - HP Business Support Center

Unzip into a folder/destination of your choice (remember where you put it)

Go to Devices and Printers window (from win 7 start button)

Click Add Printer

Tell it Dot 4 printer as the Port type

Click Have Disk

When it can't find the driver on A drive, click Browse

Point it back to the Unzipped file location you saved earlier

It should find the .inf file at this point.

Follow the remaining steps.

This should work fairly easily...at least it did for me.

Regards,
Jay

Hey,

I've tried doing exactly the series you just laid out, yet i'm getting no fruit for my efforts. here's what i am coming across:

Windows 7.7100.x86

Installed using DOT4 port

Select Vista32 drivers fresh from HP

Installation Completes and Device shows up in CPanel with green check mark

Open notepad and print text --> icon turns to yellow hazard and doc stays in the spooler with no status.

So... Rclick printer and 'troubleshoot' only to get "Troubleshooter cannot identify the problem".

as soon as I cancel the document the icon status changes back to a green check mark.

?!@#$?

hi guys i try all the steps but in vain dosn`t work at all......

O_o

So... your recommendation is to throw out a perfectly good laser printer, and replace it with a new, costly, less efficient inkjet?

Do you work for HP?!? Sorry man, but thats some of the worst advice i've ever heard.

I do not work at HP and it is not less efficent.
