driver for hp laserjet 1010

[borism]

Hi,
I have completed above mentioned process, but I have noticed some "problems" with printing. When I send something for printing I wait for 5-10 seconds and in this time only what's I can see it is flashing of green lamp on printer. Same situation when printing something in two copies, gotta wait same time for every copy.... Is there any cure for this??? I do not have this problem with Windows XP...

Please fill out your system specs completely.
Also are you running windows as x86 or x64?

Regards,
Adrian

This problem is present on OS Windows 7 x64, CPU AMD 6000+, 4GB ram, Asus AM2NE motherboard....
Also I used this printer on Windows XP x86, SP2 and SP3 without any problems for years, so definitely printer is OK, and problem is with software / driver...

I have the same problem that borism. Additionaly I can share that I run MS Virtual PC with XP Mode and install there the XP drivers and the printer work fine.
BTW im using Win 7 64 bits, Intel Core2duo E8400, 2GB RAM, ASUS P5K Deluxe Mobo.

I do not have any experience with Virtual PC so I must ask this... You have installed drivers with XP Mode, and than those drivers works fine in Win7, is that right??

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.

Jay

it works ok, but I want to say, that "Port Name - Názov portu in Slovak" is DOT4_002

I enclose a scan of "Test Page" which I print on LaserJet 1010on Windows 7. Image is here:

Try Post Name DOT4_002. I have LaserJet 1010 and it works fine with this driver.

I enclose a image. It is a scan of "Test Page" which was printed in LaserJet in windows 7.

It should be easier to get the driver now because Win 7 came out.

Hp 1010

Thank you Rocketman for this. Using Windows 7 Pro 32 bit

The suggested use of the Vista drivers and using the Dot4 port worked for me.

However performance is very slow, is there any way to speed it up, RAM, buffers etc?

Any suggestions?

i TRIED THE ABOVE RECOMMENDED OPTION ONLY CHANGE WAS THAT I USED THE HP VISTA 64 BIT DRIVER AND IT WORKED !!!!

solution for a "slow" laserjet 1010

"....I changed from win xp x32 to 7 x64 and had the same problem with a missing 1010 driver. Download the vista x64 driver from hp resulted in a
VERY slow printer which printed with long breaks after every page, inacceptable.

Solution:

Add printer - Dot4_001 - Windows Update, take the HP LaserJet 3055 PCL5. After this, the 1010 prints (as 3055) fine.
Bothered by the wrong printer name and symbol: take the 1010 previously installed (with the slow vista driver), go to printer properties and change
the 1010 driver to the 3055 driver.
Symbol and name of the 1010 remain correct. You can even delete the 3055 printer now from the printer list - the driver will remain on the system.
Only in some app's print menu you will see the hp Laserjet 1010 as printer name but HP LaserJet 3055 PCL5 as printer type, and in the win7
printers and devices menu a unnown device symbol LaserJet1010 remains below the printers row - bu t who cares - better than buying a new printer
with maybe more expensive toners and drums (sorry hp)."

It worked for me and now my LaserJet 1010 prints without any delays

I am also using win 7 x64, but the LaserJet 3055 PCL5 solution does not work for my Laserjet 1010. Don't know really why? First, I turned off the printer, then chose add printer and installed the printer by the instructions. Then I turned on my printer, but a box appears that says new hardware found and recognizes the new device as Laserjet 1010. And it does not work. How can I make win 7 to recognize my 1010 as 3055

Printing in Windows 7 on HP1010...my workaround

I have struggled a lot and got really mad at HP for not creating a driver for a really new printer...but I found a workaround that I am willing to use constantly.

This is how I fixed the issue.

I installed VirtualPC under Windows 7. It comes for free with a number of Windows 7 versions. Under Virtual PC XP I installed 3 apps and the HP1010 drivers for XP.

App one Word Viewer (free)
App two Excel Viewer (free) and
App three Adobe PDF Reader (free).

I also loaded pdf995 in Windows 7 which is a free PDF converter.

I put a shortcut for Apps 1 to 3 on my desktop in Windows 7.

So now when I have a word doc ready to print in Windows 7, I use the shortcut to MS Word Viewer and simply load the DOC file and print it.

95% of my files I print are either Word or Excel. Everything else I "print to PDF" in Windows 7 and now use the link on my desktop
to the Adobe Reader under Virtual PC and simply print the PDF file to my HP1010.

I now can print 100% docs in Windows 7 with my HP1010.

Working hp1010 on windows 7 64 bit.

Hello. I found a solution. Here is my hp 1010 printer working in Windows 7 64 bit. Not only that it is working but is recognized with the correct name.

I hope you ca see it. Pm. so I can send the working driver.

Ok how about you tell us what you came up with....

EDIT: please upload the driver to a public server: rapidshare, hotfile etc


thanks

 

[GrafLukas]

This may sound stupid, but how do I send a PM on this forums? If there really is a working driver, I'd gladly test it! So please quadrian post it somewhere, anywhere, but tell us how to get it!!

Edit: Supposedly there is a "Mail" Button under posting, but I can only see "Quote", "Multi" and, in case of my own posting, "Edit". Am I completely stupid or is there a chance it isn't me...?

So im hoping he is uploading it to a server and posting the link here

I've been using HP for many years, but the lack of 64-bit support is disappointing. I cannot print two-sided in Windows 7 64-bit. Anybody noticed the price of good quality laser paper lately? Not to mention it's a waste to print on only one side. If a printer is expected to last five years I can't see any reason why a company with the resources like HP does not support that printer for it's lifespan.

I bought the printer for it's quality and lifespan, but I'm researching other companies for a new printer with much better support.

Having to install 3 additional programs to run a printer is ridiculous.

hp 1010 driver.

Here is the driver from HP site.

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=lj-67501-1

This should work. Let me know the good news.

 

[GrafLukas]

Well, we know that one - doesn't it say on page 1 of this thread that it isn't working? You have to endure delays and can't print larger jobs or more than one job at a time, or is there any update to that? Have you figured something else out to make that one work properly on Windows 7?

 

[qadrian]

There is a small delay 3 -5 sec. But once the prints starts everything goes smooth. I haven't printed large documents yet. But this works just fine for the moment. I just installed the driver nothing else.

 

[qadrian]

ok. So this is crap. The delay is between each page. If you want to print one page... only and you don't mind to wait a delay of a few seconds ok.. if you have a 10 page and up document... this will not work. Too bad.
