Installation of IEEE 1284.4 Software Driver

Hello,
For the past few weeks, when I try to print a document (Word) on my HP LaserJet 1012 printer, my Vista 64 computer (purchased 5 months ago) displays the following:
Windows needs to install the driver software for your IEEE 1284.4 Generic printer port.
I start to install it but it stops and gives the above message again. I called HP and they told me to DOWNLOAD it from the HP.com/support site, but .... it's not progressing any further.
Could you please help me?
Thank you
Joco
Configuration: Windows Vista Internet Explorer 7.0

    Hello, I don't know if you're still looking, but I just managed to find the solution

    I downloaded the driver here

    You need to extract it into a folder

    Connect the USB cable and when searching for the device, point it to the folder.

    And there you go, I'm printing right now.

    Good luck to you

    Hello,

    Has the printer ever worked under Vista 64?
