Why doesn’t my printer HP LaserJet 1012print the documents through the USB? When I throw a document to print on my USB, it just waits and after a minute the hp-toolbox returns these errors. Printer queue stopped Code: 700 and Device Communication Error Code: 5012.I make out my printer is fine since I print with it on my Windows xp. Recently I updated my Pc with windows 7. I had been downloaded drivers for windows 7 on this link

The HP drivers for the 1012 are now available! Visit the HP website. Both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions worked for my two vista machines.

Ahhhh…. It IS a 64-bit Vista!! I purchased it open box with a good price but now I'm wondering if it was really worth it! I haven't tried to install the color HP 1600 yet. Says it is supported but we'll see! Thanks for your help and web site!

Joyce,

Did you try the instructions in my blog post? If so, what error/problem are you getting now? Also, is the slimline by any chance running Vista 64-bit? If so, the workaround will probably not work for you, since the 64-bit driver is different. Let me know…

I just purchased another computer [HP Slimline with vista installed] since my old one was 5 years old. I have tried diligently SEVERAL times to get this to work and it STILL won't let me use my 1012. Although I have another printer HP1600 Color Laser, I need to use the 1012 with this computer. Any hope for me? Thanks for your help! I've been sitting here for 3 hours trying to get this thing to work correctly!

Not that I know of, short of installing the 32-bit version of Vista instead of the 64-bit version…but that seems a bit drastic. I suppose you could also try poking around on HP's site to see if there's a 64-bit version of the XP driver and try the same procedure using that driver.
