Installing unsupported HP Laserjet 1010 within Windows 7 x32 or x64

For HP, you have to go to the trade-in program:
http://www.hp.com/united-states/tradein/home_flash.html


Within the community, of course that is not the perfect choice:

Thanks goes for the post by Michael Westphal:

http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-LaserJet/LaserJet-1010-Windows-7-X64-Drivers/td-p/1124953

Steps are:

1) "Install new printer" in Windows control center.
2) "Local printer"
3) "DOT4_001 (Generic IEEE....)"


4) "HP Jaserjet 3055 PCL5"


Done!

    2. Dear Sawaf, thanks for a very good and effective information. I am very surprised, why the computer engineers, working in customer services do not know about this type of troubleshooting? I called several places and persons to get help! They all failed! I appreciate your knowledge. Best wishes.

  5. "DOT4_001 (Generic IEEE....)"

    I don't see the option on my win7.

    Do I need to install it?

    1. No, that's as the name implies is a generic port driver which does not need to be installed.
      I have added a snapshot, hope that helps.

      Thanks Leon for noting.

  8. Thanks! Worked for me, but aditionally I had to provide the Windows Vista driver files that I downloaded from the HP website at http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=306507&lang=en&cc=us&taskId=135&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=306505. Choose the "Have disk" option.

  40. Thanks for sharing this nice blog. Unfortunately, you won’t see many available Internet options as a rural resident. Satellite Internet excels in the few available Internet options in rural areas. Viasat, being the best satellite Internet provider, offers maximum speeds up to 100 Mbps. Get Viasat Internet if satellite Internet is the only available option in your area!

  41. I am a technical writer based at Tampa, USA and I have been writing blogs on many technical products that have impressed me so far. When it comes to streaming, I have explored a lot of devices. But I have never come across a product like Roku. It is fabulous and more dynamic in design. The shape resembles a Pendrive yet it could bring you loads of Entertainment. The features of the Roku player are pretty decent and especially the enhanced voice search is what impressed me the most. The search provides me almost every movie that I like

  52. By logging into your registered roku account, you can start the activation process at an instant. All you have to do is, turn on your TV connected with the Roku device. The moment you turn on the TV, the Roku logo will get displayed. Now the link code appears and note it down. Now navigate to the Roku.com/link webpage, paste the link code you had already taken note of. Finally click the submit option and the device is now activated without any complications.
    For enquiries regarding the Roku com link activation code , visit our website.
