HP Color LaserJet 1600

[stringcheesy]

For two months I have been trying to get my HP Color LaserJet 1600 to work with RTM 32 bit Windows 7. I cannot get it to install.

I have tried downloading the drivers for Vista via HP's website with no luck. I even tried a step-by-step how-to guide from HP how to install HP Color LaserJet 1600 on Windows 7. There information is not available on there own site (I have no idea why).

I have tried to install the printer using the original disk (this worked with the RC Windows 7), but nothing is working.

Also, I have tried to let Windows search for drivers online, and nothing.

Can someone please tell me what I can do to get this printer working?

Thank you,

If the Vista drivers supplied from HP as well as the drivers available with Windows 7 do not work with the printer, you are out of luck. HP is known for this kind of 'hard wired' driver issue. I would look at Canon.

Do you think HP would be able to provide any help with their product in this case?

HP tend to recomend different drivers on occasion. Hold on...

No, they have Vista drivers that are worth trying though as badge suggested

I had the same issue with my HP's (laserjets 1020 and 3700n). Try this: Download either the x32 drivers for Vista or XP (the non-plug and play). Install the drivers manually through "add a printer" in the control panel. Select the drivers you installed and you should be good to go, in theory. Like I said, if the Vista drivers do not work, try the XP drivers next.
