Joyce:I'm definitely going to try this. Right now, I'm printing to an inkjet, which can be pretty expensive.Sammy

I tried this but when I brought up the list of drivers, there was no LaserJet III listed - in fact, the list of LaserJet drivers available (presumably for x64) started with LaserJet 2200. Surely you are not saying that I can make the x32 driver for the LaserJet III work with my win7-64? I'll try that, but it seems like a long shot.simpliTek

There are no Windows 8 drivers available for this printer. Windows 7 is the last version of the MS OS that this printer will work on.

I hooked an HP LaserJet 1100A to a Dell Inspiron Windows 7 and the printer worked just fine. When you plug the USB to your computer, make sure the printer is on and your computer will download the drivers needed to run your computer. I recommend to always us the same USB port when you plug your printer back into your computer.

Good to know, I have an HP laser printer that it took them 2 years to make a vista driver for, and even then only for 32-bit vista. They never bothered with win 7.

it has something to do with the drivers of the computer not being up to date i beleive the printer was designed to work on much older computers and with the upgraded technology and newer versions of windows you would need a new driver installed but they stopped doing technical support and stopped making any type of products or assistance to go with the product so your basically out of luck

that's funny, i came on here trying to find an answer to the same question. i have the same old printer still running. Go HP 4L!! Did you find an answer?

Sorry I can't be specific to your printer. I was getting an old HP 720C to work with Windows 7 and it did fill that bill

I have been researching this and even coming from the HP Forum help section, there seems to be no fix for this. It came to a dead end of confused, tired, and impatient users who demand an answer but yet to have receive one. The best they could come up with is revert to the previous windows which I wouldnt do just for a photo printer. I would just utilize the card slots. Sorry and I hope I helped a little if any at all.

Yes it works with windows 7, when the printer worked. I agree with R. Jacobs, don't get this printer. My HP 6700 died after 1 year with a print head failure and HP was no help. I have had a Canon MX922 for 5-6 months now, and so far no problems.

I would love to answer your question.I had purchased two of these.When they arrived neither one worked.My Hp Photosmart A646 is a excellent one .And yes they print those size prints and more.I wish they'd make update this little printer!Hope this helps' you.

Unfortunately - as per the other response - mine also ended up in the trash. But more for reasons of problems with the downloaded driver and conflicts with the operating system. Over time the printing speed became worse and worse, and no matter how many times I deleted and re-installed drivers, there was always a conflict. Spent way to many hours trying to problem solve and finally lost patience - trash.

In response to @waxpot. You obviously hit the brick wall that I did as well. This was a great little unit when working but the HP support was appalling and in reality they just want to sell ink. I even tried to find out from them if there was another of their printers that these cartridges would fit in and they couldn't/wouldn't tell me. I haven't set the new one up yet so will soon find out how they operate with that one. Incidently my HP laser has worked more or less non stop for about 15 years.

This is a great little printer and it does work with Win 7. Get the USB conversion cable for around $8 and don't forget you must turn off bidirectional printing. You also have to have their most recent drivers and although they are old, they do work with Win 7. Been doing it for years on several laptops.

It's a great printer, but I haven't been able to get it to work with my Windows 8 computer. It works fine with our Macs, Windows 7 and Windows Vista computers. It could be just me though. I may just not have been able to figure it out...

Give it up dude. I searched and searched for a printer that would work with ME and finally gave up and bought a new computer. I did find and purchase an older version HP printer that said it would work with ME on the box but HP had withdrawn the drivers from their website, so I took it back. Go buy a new computer. (ME never did anything but suck anyway.)

Hi. I used a disk to download the drivers (we were replacing an older printer). You will have to look on the internet to find a place to download. Type into the search engine something like "I need to download drivers for HP 5150 Color Inkjet printer." It's not much to offer, I know, but these are the only options I am aware of. Best to you and Happy Holidays.

I used an HP printer with a USB connect. The computer found and loaded the drivers, no problem. I just had to go into the control panel and change the default printer.
