HP 710C and Windows 7

[nicolaas57]

My computer, a HP Pavilion with Windows 7, can't install my old deskjet 710c
It is connected with a cable with on one side a USB plug en on the other side the old parallel connector for the printer.

If I put the USB plug into the computer Windows update starts to find the printerdriver and that's the point where things go wrong.
In the end it says no printer found.

Can anyone help me?

Windows 7 supports that model with the generic MS driver that you can get from Windows Update. Here is a short how to on manual installation: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Find-and-install-printer-drivers

There is an issue with the 64 bit Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 drivers that causes the spooler to crash with the following Deskjet printers : Deskjet 710, Deskjet 712, Deskjet 720, Deskjet 722, Deskjet 810, Deskjet 812, Deskjet 820, Deskjet 822, Deskjet 1000
