Question HP Series 1000 support on Windows 10

[nekton]

I have a network shared HP Series 1000 printer running on a Windows XP computer.

I want to print to it from my Windows 10 laptop.

I tried to follow the instructions in the last post of this thread but HP LaserJet 1100 MS driver is not presented when I do a Windows update.

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-Archive-Read-Only/Windows-7-and-HP-Laserjet-1000/td-p/129513/page/5

Is there another driver I could use to get to this to work? When I put in the HP 3055 PCL 5 driver which was suggested from a video I watched, I get a test page that says Windows Printer Test Page but the rest of the output is garbage.

Maybe put your work on a thumb drive and use the xp computer to print it?

Are you working with an HP LaserJet 1100 MS...?

No, I am working with an HP Laser Jet Series 1000 printer.

The download link was an .exe file that simply put .dlls in a directory. When I chose one for my local port defined as in the link in my original post it said it wasn't compatible with a 64 bit machine. I am not sure what I am suppose to right click on to have the driver show up as an option that will run in a 64 bit environment.

Try using the HP Universal driver https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-universal-print-driver-series-for-windows/4157320

I tried these printers and they did not work. I am getting a "Printer error" with owner "Guest" on the machine for which the HP printer is attached.

I set up a Virtualbox VM running XP Pro. When I select a printer using the ip address of the machine with the printer and the printer name (\\192.168.1.20\hpLaserJet1000) I get the same error. Not sure what I am doing wrong here. Sorry to take everyone back 20 years to XP but I hate to give up on a perfectly good printer.
