Can't get my old hp laserjet 1000 series printer to work with my.

The original solution was to "download the Windows Vista drivers. These drivers will work with Windows 7".

There are Windows 7 drivers available now, so here is the link.
There are two different sets. One for 32bit Windows 7 and 64bit Windows 7.
To determine which version of Windows 7 you have:
Find the Computer menu item in the start menu by clicking on the Flag button in the lower left corner.
Right click on "Computer" and select properties from the list in the contents menu.
You will see under the System section a mention of the System type.
Download the matching driver.
Thank you for using FixYa.
