spacesurfer Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I'm running Windows 7 RTM x64. After install, it automatically installed my hp laserjet 1320 PCL5 drivers. I want to use PCL6 drivers (all versions x64, x86) instead and I have them downloaded. For whatever reason, I'm not able to share the printer since my laptop (x86) can't find the drivers for the PCL5.It worked fine in previous builds. I had the PCL6 driver installed and shared okay. However, after a fresh install of RTM, it refused to update the drivers to PCL5 saying the best driver is installed on your computer. I tried removing the printer, then reinstalling. I tried "have disk" method but says it's the incorrect version, but it's not an incorrect version - it's the same drivers that worked before.How can I get these drivers to install?????

Tripredacus Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I haven't installed a printer locally on 7 yet, but in other Windows versions, there is a way to install additional (legacy) drivers. Its in the printer properties someplace. I had to do that to get a printer connected to an XP computer to be shared onto a 7 x64 over the network.
