windows 7 mass storagecontroller driver help needed  

When I tried to connect my HP LaserJet 1012 printer I found that HP didn't provide MS with the driver for Windows 7. Thru forum help I was able to connect by downloading the driver for 3055PCL5 (DOT4) and Printer Wizard did the rest. Worked great.

However yesterday the printer connected to the pc but would not print the data. I eventually found that the mass storage controller didn't have the appropriate driver. When I tried to "Update Drivers", I had no luck in finding the driver.

Bearing in mind that I am not as computer-savvy as the posters on this forum, can anyone help with this problem?

Thx in advance.

Hi Kenn and Fabe -

Thx for yr replies

The OS is Windows 7 32 bit - as to the other specs, I don't know how to find them.

As to the "manufacturer" for the mass storage device, it shows as "unknown" in Properties.

If the mass storage deice refers to something like an external hard drive, then I may have misled you - it is only the printer that I am concerned with.

Since the "fix" I described in my original post worked for several weeks, something must have caused it to change. Is it possible that a Windows Update somehow changed the driver that I had installed for the "fix" and made it inoperable with the HP 1012 printer?

Thx again

Type in System Information into the start/Search and it will be on top of the Menu
click it, and what you need should be on the first page.

If you can post a screen shot that would be good also, using the snipping Tool.

Sounds like the flash media controller if you have a laptop - i used v2.0.0.8 with a toshiba laptop - there are a few to choose from but they probably wont install unless they are the correct driver :

Thank you all for trying to help with my problem - very much appreciated.

For Fabe -

I downloaded the 64 bit version as you recommended, but I don't know what program to deal with in Compatablity Mode. The recommended tutorial for it is too much for my limited computer skills.

More instruction would be appreciated.
