Hewlett Packard driver for Laserjet 1100/1100A printer for use with Windows 7

[Segilla]

The original CD doesn't cover Windows 7 and afyet Googling, the sites are so perplexing. Some advice which to choose please.

Your printer probably is not suported by HP anymore so it would be in your interest to get a new one given that the price of them is really cheap these days and would be supported for some time to come

I do have a new HP, but the cost of cartridges ...

HP1100 laser cartrdiges use to cost £40+ but were much better value and as I still have a spare as well, I'll use the laser until it dies.

Windows 7 ships with the correct drive for that printer, no need to download anything, just select it from the list when you install the printer.

I'd have thought the fact it's a parallel port only printer would be more of a problem these days, as most computers don't have a parallel port.

^^ True, but fairly easily got round:

Agreed!

Now if I could only find one of those that fully emulates a parallel port and will work with things like PIC programmers!

[DrFilth]

did you try tapping it in with a hammer

[MarkRae]

Again, not too much of an issue:

The point about fewer and fewer PCs shipping with parallel ports is worth highlighting, though:

II_billym, the link in yr msg 30/10 is not recognised. Could you please check it. TKS

[ll_billym]

Works fine for me - from another PC also.

Okay, basically if you follow the link it says that Win 7 comes with the drivers already.

This doc tells you how to update/install.

I had another go and found printer auto installed. All is now well. Grateful thanks.
