By default, my elderly but reliable Laserjet 1100 is not listed on the list of printers in Windows 7 Ultimate.
Doing a windows update on this list does add it, but installing using this driver did not get the printer working.
It can be downloaded from this site
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=%22windows%207%20laserjet%201100
Once download - the files need to be extracted.
Then go to printer properties, driver, and when prompted to selected on, click on Have Disk, and browse to the files you have just extracted
The driver pack contains drivers for many different printers, so it is necessary to select the 1100 from the list.
After this my printer appeared to have installed ok, but still did not work. So I rebooted the PC, in line with the ancient moto, "If at first you don't succeed, reboot"
