HP color laser jet 1600

Hi,
I installed windows 7 RC clean because i had the beta.
I had installed the beta over my vista os with no problems with drivers for all my devices.
After installing win 7 RC i realised that none of my devices were installed, printer, scanner camera etc.
When i tried installing the printer With the old disk it re-directed me to the HP site for the right driver (x64).
After downloading the driver it will not install, i tried using the compability to Vista with no luck , i have tried for hours different ways without success.
I really need the printer, please if anybody has ideas to how to get the driver to install i whould really apreciate it.

Have you tried installing the printer *without* installing a third party driver?

if it is local just install a new printer, tell it local and let it look for the printer to see if it recognizes it on its own....

Actually there was another post http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/3832-hp-color-laserjet-1600-problem.html that states that the Vista driver works....

Hi,
Thanks for the fast reply, i had already tried this but i had put the install file on the desktop and could not get to it but i used windows explorer to find the file and it installed fine.
Thanks a lot, Claude
