    Indeed I can :)

    HP Deskjet 1280 Printer series - Download drivers and software - HP Business Support Center if you have 32 bit Windows

    HP Deskjet 1280 Printer series - Download drivers and software - HP Business Support Center if you have 64 bit Windows.

    They are Vista drivers so follow the instructions here: Drivers - Install Vista Drivers on Windows 7 to install. (shameless plug of my own tutorial lol)

    Hmm


    Unfortunately this doesn't work for me on Win7 Ultimate (64 bit).

    Note that for me the printer is connected to a network device. When I choose 'Have Disk' and point to the Vista drivers you linked to above, unzipped to a temp folder, I get the error message:

    The folder you specified doesn't contain driver software for your device. Select a folder that contains your driver software and try again.

    Any other ideas? @gleonard, did you get this working?

    EDIT: I am a numpty. Nevermind me -- it's working now. Thanks very much for the information.

    I have been struggling to install my HP Deskjet 1280 printer on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

    I phoned HP customer support - they couldn't have been less helpful!

    Eventually I managed to install the driver for Vista Home Premium 64 bit. It seems to work OK.

    I installed my HP DeskJet 1280 as a HP DeskJet 1220C using the default Windows 7 drivers. It works perfectly.
