HP Deskjet 840C driver for Win7 x64  

Hi Forum:

I have Windows 7 Pro x64 installed on my PC and an older printer, an HP Deskjet 840C.

In theory, Windows 7 should provide the appropriate printer driver but doesn't. Unplugging the printer, then booting Windows (or something like that) hoping it'll recognize the printer doesn't work and extensive Googling for a driver download site only gave me the runaround .

Any ideas, how I can get Windows to democratically cooperate with the printer ?!

Many thanks!
