Under the "Printer properties" and "Advanced" I have also selected the option "Print jobs directly to the printer". Since I don't have a driver I go to manual input, as port I choose LPT1, then I press "Windows update" for the driver selection, then it is suggested to set up printer as "generic text". If I follow your installation instructions, the installation looks like this: First I search under "Device Settings - Add Printer and Scanner". The USB adapter is in turn connected directly to my notebook via a USB-C port. As an interface between the printer I use the xu1541 interface, which is connected to a USB adapter via a USB.
As a computer, I have an HP Specter with Windows 10 as the operating system. Now I have a very old printer, namely a Star lC-10C dot matrix printer. I came across your article on how to install old printers on Windows 10. Get old printers up and running on Windows 10! ►►►►. I have two descriptions with detours for successful installation: , it can happen that there are different ones Driver tests until you find something. Then you should try to find out which printer driver would be compatible with your model, for example, for a nine-dot dot matrix printer, find a similarly working model from EPSON, HP, Canon. If you want to keep the same printer for years and years, and have the most compatibility regardless of system, then aim for a printer that uses the PCL and/or Postscript printer languages.The worst case, the driver was not even written for Windows 7 or XP. You can try the HP "universal" printer driver, but the 1012 isn't on the supported printer list, and from trying to get 1012's working with Vista in the past personally, it's not going to happen (even with a hacked apart XP driver), especially when you throw 64-bit into the mix.īascially, if you buy a sub-$200 laser printer, expect to replace it whenever you replace your OS with something a couple years newer than the printer.
This keeps the price low, but the major trade-off is (as you've discovered) when the printer gets end-of-life'd by the manufacturer they stop making drivers, and the printers aren't compatible with any other drivers. Meaning they use the computer's CPU to do the printing processing, and require a specific driver to do it. Low-end HP printers (ie: Home-use ones) are 'host-based'-only printers.
