Windows 7 has a driver for this printer but it is a very limited version. It doesn't include the duplex print feature among other things. HP had a full featured driver but doesn't offer one for windows 7. Does anyone know if there is a full featured driver for this printer avaiable from a third party perhaps?
Thanks, Jim B.

Urgh... its always frustrating when you find your old trusty peripheral doesn't have driver support for the latest operating system...

Products for which the In-OS is the best or only driver option...HP LaserJet 1100 and 1200 Printer series...
Huh.
I was going to say "Install the Vista drivers" because Vista and Win7 are more related than Win7 and XP, but...

HP is committed to providing the best experience for HP products in the Windows Vista operating environment.
You can conveniently find this driver in your Windows Vista operating system, today.
...I sense some sarcasm here...

Apparently M$ has a hardware update catalog which has all the latest drivers.

I tried all the drivers I could find in the MS catalog and none of them emulate the original driver for this printer by HP. The MS drivers only give you a basic printing ability. The original HP driver allowed for duplex printing which I found very useful. Oh well....
