hp LaserJet 1012 Works with Vista Ultimate RTM

Posted: 01-05-2007, 12:19 AM
I just wanted to let people know that, at least on my system, the hp
LaserJet 1012 (1010 series) does work (at least basically) under Vista
Ultimate RTM. I couldn't run the actual HP driver software since it faults
almost immediately under Vista. Instead, I just turned on the printer and
Vista looked for the drivers. It couldn't find any on its own, so I pointed
it to HP's install CD. Vista then went through the motions of trying to get
things installed, but failed at some point (I think it was due to the
spooler). I then went into Device Manager, opened the "IEEE 1284.4
compatible printer" structure and right-clicked on the identically named
device underneath. I told it to Update the Driver Software and it did the
rest on its own. The printer works fine (I haven't done anything esoteric
with it, though).
