When I tried to install them, one at a time, every one of them gave me the error message, "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. My printer works now.įor what it's worth, here's what worked for me and my LaserJet 1100A.įirst I downloaded all the drivers in the Microsoft "catalog" (mentioned above) that included the "HP 1100" and the words "Windows 7". Then I just browsed to it with the "Have Disk." option and voila. cab file to something shorter and then I was able to extract the files. One hitch, the filename was so long that winzip wasn't happy. You just add the drivers you need to your basket (it's kinda like shopping but the drivers are free) and then you just view the basket and download your drivers.
I did a search for my laserjet 1100 and it returned results that were listed for Windows 7. I couldn't even get it to accept the driver off the Vista 圆4 install DVD.Īnd then a ray of hope, I found a link to the Microsoft hardware update catalog. I scanned down the HP list twice and even tried the HP website (which doesn't even have a Vista one since it was on the DVD).
It's always depressing when you install the latest OS only to find that your old reliable peripheral just isn't listed anymore.
