Nice tutorial Shawn. Have you considered adding a part about right-clicking and selecting Troubleshoot Compatibility?

Hello Jonathan,
Yeah, I was thinking about it, but was debating if it would be as helpful as manually doing it. Thank you for reminding me. I'll get it added later on today. :)
Hello PackJac, and welcome to Seven Forums.
Since it doesn't have a 64-bit Windows 7 driver, see if it has a 64-bit Vista (preferred) or 64-bit XP driver to install instead.
If that driver doesn't install normally in Windows 7, then try installing it using compatibilty mode on the driver installation file by using OPTION ONE in the tutorial and selecting the OS (step 4) that the driver was for instead.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
Nope, doesn't work, Shawn. I downloaded drivers (tried a number of them besides the LaserJet 1000 - which is only an xp driver and not 64 bit - and while it looks like the driver installed, the printer would not work.
This seems to be a universal problem with the LaserJet 1000 and Windows 7-64. Lots of other people - folks who love their LaserJet 1000s - are really upset at HP for not supporting their workhorse printers.

That stinks.
Looks like it may be time for a new printer if they do not want to support new drivers for it.
