Win 8 Driver for HP M1005
I am upgrading to Win 8 but until now I could not find a suitable drive for HP M1005. Anyone has had the same problem and found a solution. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. Helmut |

Thank you Charlie for your reply.
What you suggested is exactly what I was thinking after running in to more and never ending problems.

No full depth upgrade drivers will be available from HP, Canon or anyone else - it is the policy of mfg of cheap hardware not to provide them - upgrading OS is the easy and cheap bit, dont do it if you dont have to. Getting new software and hardware to get everything working as before is the expensive and time consuming part. Here still using XP until something breaks and forces change. |

Helmut Ongoing hardware support is never an easy step :-( One solution you might try to look into is to use a different, older, computer as a print server. For linux, HP generally has something approaching good support for many printers (whether the HP software has desirable consequences as far as intrusiveness is concerned is a separate issue), and the same goes for many other brands: Setting up a CUPS (common UNIX printing system) server on an older machine running some version of linux should be enough to keep printers supported which no longer have drivers for Windows versions you might be running. The printers can then be network-shared (by CUPS) and seen from the Windows machine(s). I should add that older devices will be supported on linux forever, and drivers continually improved as development continues.

I forgot to add: There is the little complication that HP makes several printers that do not actually meet the USB specification, and only work with HP's own software (which nevertheless should be available for linux). Canon also has a series of photo-printers (SELPHY ES and CP series) which do not meet the USB specifications, and which need an intelligent spooler to work properly. This spooler is under development (I posted in this group earlier this week soliciting USB information about these devices to help support them---since they need to be identified by their USB PID). -- Gernot Hassenpflug |

Thank you Gernot for your help and I have some old Pentium 3 and 4 in my store which I could use as per your advice. Should be fun to do it and I will inform you about the outcome. Helmut P.S. At my need me some time as, like everyone else, I am too busy before Christmas and my holiday is coming up as well.
