I have a HP LaserJet 1200 which I want to use in Windows 10. There are apparently ways to do it. But I have spent hours trying out 'solutions' found at HP's website, Microsoft's website, and other sites. None of them work.

I know for a fact the printer works. I was using it on a regular basis with no problems before I was forced to upgrade to Windows 10.

I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6V3aUsqRkI&feature=youtu.be in a Microsoft help thread. I got to 3:40, everything went exactly as shown in the video up to that point. Then I lost it. Datenträger = 'Have Disk'. I don't have a disk for the printer because it's more than 10 years old.

I can get it to PRINT test PAGE. That's all it prints. It doesn't print anything else.

Apparently I need this file: HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PostScript (64-bit) https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/closure/hp-universal-print-driver-series-for-windows/503548/model/4157320

I've downloaded and installed it several times not as Administrator and as Administrator.

Here are some other threads I've found, trying out the solutions unsuccessfully:

Could somebody walk me through this? Thanks.Heres your drivers...https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-laserjet-1200-printer-series/29789This may be completely off base but if the drivers you've tried don't play nice w/Windows 10 you might be able to utilize a cheap hp JetDirect ethernet print server BOX. You'd need to install the driver on it AFAIK but that might circumvent 10, be a quick solution. Sometimes a hardware solution BEATS a software solution.

Let us know how you're fairing. I supported printers for years and had a good end of day today when (after no message TELLING me install was successful) I got Windows 10 up and running.
