Default HP Laserjet 1012 and Vista 64 bit (driver work-around worked for me)

I have the hp Laserjet 1012 and, after wasting much time with different
failed attempts, I finally got it to work with my Dell Studio Vista Home
Premium 64bit desktop! First, I custom installed the Laserjet 1015 XP
driver from the hp site (fonts and driver only, not the toolkit). I
picked USB local port and the driver installed but the printer wouldn't
work. Next I right clicked on the Laserjet 1015 printer (default printer
in the control panel) and under its Properties changed the port to DOT
4_00x Generic IEEE 1284. I connected the printer to the USB port and now
it prints.


IT WORKS!! I am using the Laserjet 1015 XP driver on a Vista 64bit HP
laptop to
print to a LaserJet 1012 via a US Robotics 7500 print server!!!!
