HP 1100dtn printer driver on Windows 7 x64

    Having upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 x64, I am unable to find a suitable driver for my HP Inkjet 1100dtn printer. Visiting HP site and searching Google suggests using HP 1000's drivers as an alternative. Having installed this however, I find the automated duplex no longer works and much of the useful features are absent.

    Other than getting a new printer, or perhaps VM based solution, any ideas on how to resolve this?

    HP officially states that the drivers for the Business Inkjet 1000 model are your only option in terms of Win7 compatible drivers, and the FAQ section clearly lists the limited functionality of the alternate driver. Without proper drivers there's nothing much you can do except buy a new model (exactly what they want), or continue using it with an older but supported OS.

    Generic Post Script driver for Windows Vista x64?
  • Rick

    I have an old HP parallel port printer that is not supported by Vista. No drivers I've found online work with it.

    As a last ditch effort, I was hoping to find some generic postscript drivers for Vista x64 in the hopes that the printer will accept those commands.

    Does anyone know where I could come by such drivers?

    Have you tried the MS Publisher Imagesetter driver? It's included with Windows Vista under the Generic category if you manually install a printer.

    I normally use the Apple Postscript Printer driver. We use it for a Samba printer which generates PDF's.

    You might be able to get the drivers to install on Vista if you share it from another PC say, running XP (assuming you have another PC).

    Also, what sort of printer is it? You may be able to use the HP LaserJet 4 Driver, which is about as generic as I've seen HP drivers get.

    Failing that, use the Apple Postscript Driver as suggested by Diago.

    One approach to this kind of problem is to use Ghostscript as a raster image processor on the PC to drive the old printer. This depends on having a recent installation of Ghostscript, as well as Redmon which is a generic tool that can make an ordinary application appear to be a printer port to Windows.

    In addition to turning an old printer into a postscript compatible printer, Ghostscript can also produce high-quality PDF files, and with a suitable Redmon configuration can be used to make a print-to-PDF solution.

    A trick I've found handy on occasion is to set it up to write TIFF or PNG files with Redmon to get a print-to-PNG printer.

    Unfortunately, redmon isn't quite ready for 64-bit windows. According to its site, the authors are planning for a beta release that includes a 64-bit compatible build in June 2009, which if you are keeping score, is this month....

    Google provided some hints that others are thinking about this issue, and there may be one or more 64-bit builds of redmon available from alternate sources.
