Hi charunanda, welcome to 7F! :)
No it is not compatible, but here is the page for the download: HP LaserJet 1010 Printer series*-* HP LaserJet 1010/1012/1015 Printing System - HP Business Support Center
Download it to your Desktop, then see this to install in: Compatibility Mode
If it is a 32bit program, take note of the blue note box at the top.
If that does not work see his thread: why i m not instal my hp laser printer laser jer 1010 in window 7 - Microsoft Answers
Especially the part about using the HP Laserjet 5200L driver.

nice coincidence, we have the same printer at work. lol :). Following Anak's suggestions, if you get an error saying print spool is not working you have to restart etc, go to start button, in search. type services and open it, look for print spool. you will have to keep playing around with the start, stop, automatic, manual of the start up types until it adds the printer in devices and printers. this is how i fixed my problem in 3 computers at work :).
hope this helps.
you are welcome, Anak.:)
thanks for the information on your first post,cause this will help me install the drivers on the pc that has the printer connected to it. as it is currently running XP and 4 out of 8 computers have windows 7 installed and im looking forward to install windows 7 for the one with the HP printer too. :), it will take me some time before i can add rep to you.
