"The Hewlett Packard Laser Jet 1012 Printer is affordable and useful for the home office." from Castleink.com "The Hewlett Packard Laser Jet 1012 Printer is affordable and useful for the home office." from Castleink.com Nestled within the humble shanty next to the electronic brain resides a HP LaserJet 1012, the pride of my printer fleet. Well, it's the only printer I currently own so is it a "fleet"? from Amazon.com There is no Vista driver for this printer. It's a great Laser for other systems, but it's basically garbage if you buy a Vista Home Basic or a Vista Home Premium PC. There are some fixes/drivers that will make the 1012 work in Vista Ultimate, which is perhaps the Vista version other users here who say they've gotten it to work have, but I can not get this to run w/ the 1015 or 1300 drivers and definitely not with the 1012 driver. I managed to get it to print about 20 pgs of MS Word docs using the 1150, but they all came out gray as if the printer was in draft mode. from Amazon.com I would expect it to be the same with all the other version of Vista. Connect the printer USB cable and enter Printer from the Control Panel. Add a new printer but select hp "LaserJet 1300 PCL 5". No installation disk is required as the driver is already on Vista. from Amazon.com Roy (below) is correct. Using the Vista "add a printer" button (on the Control Panel>>Printers tab), I've done the same thing. This is a bit infuriating, as the HP site blithely says Vista automatically supports the 1012, which it does not, and the add a printer wizard says you don't need any drivers for a USB printer. As many 1012 owners know, this is just flat wrong. from Amazon.com Today I think I found a fix. I'm posting it here for what it is worth.... Use the Vista Laserjet 1015 driver. One the driver is installed, open the properties for your printer. from Amazon.com Today I think I found a fix. I'm posting it here for what it is worth.... Use the Vista Laserjet 1015 driver.

The printer is used 12 hrs a day, and gives very good service. from Amazon.com Since we opened our Medical clinic 2 years ago, I am using HP 1012 and very happy with it.
