WINDOWS 7 (64 Bit) Driver for HP1012 (HACK)
You should have windows 7 x64, starting with the printer plugged in via USB, and recognized as HP 1012, but sorted under "unspecified" in the devices & printers list and not working.
Download "lj1010serieshb-vista64.zip" from the following address:
"http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=306505&prodNameId=306507&swEnvOID=2100&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=lj-67501-1"
Unzip the driver "lj1010serieshb-vista64.zip" then:
1. Control panel / devices: "add a printer" -> "add a local printer" -> "use an existing port:", "USB001 (virtual printer port for USB)"
2. Update printer list by clicking "Windows Update" button
3. Select manufacturer: "HP", printers: "hp laserjet 3055 PCL5 (HP)"
4. Click "have disk..." and open the hpc1015w.inf driver file
5. Select "Hp LaserJet 1012 HB" in the "choose your printer" list that pops up
6. Type a name for this dummy printer (something other than what you want your printer to actually be called). The print drivers are now installed, but they aren't yet associated with the printer hardware.
7. Go to the laserjet 1012 icon sorted under "unspecified" in devices (this is your actual printer, which isn't associated with working drivers yet). Right click -> "properties" -> hardware tab -> "properties" -> driver tab -> "uninstall". The printer should be removed from the devices list.
8. Unplug your printer's usb cable and plug it back in.
9. The printer should pop back up in the "unspecified" list, then the driver should be associated with it automatically and it will move to the "printers" list.
It should now be working.
