I was thinking that if perhaps the correct strings of the 1600 could be modified and installed in conjunction with the 1000, that maybe we could have ourselves a driver to get this working. I also found a video tutorial where someone was able to modifiy a newer Canon printer driver to work with an old Canon printer, one that seemed to have been in a similar state of the LaserJet 1000 where it was only supported on 32 bit systems, and no further drivers were made for it after a certain point in time. The driver is in a 64 bit configuration, and the printer is not able to further decode or read the portion of the command telling it to print actual characters (again, if that's how it works, I know next to nothing about the actual technical workings of it all.)

I did try setting it to the black and white, or the monochrome settings as well. Of course, the HP LaserJet 1000 IS NOT a color printer, and is possibly getting confused by the coding coming from the driver that is telling it to print in color (if that's how it works). I have a couple theories as to why nothing may have been printed. The exitement stops there though, as nothing was actually lasered onto the paper, although it was notably warm as if something had been printed. I tried this with a regular document I had on my system and had the same outcome. To my surprise, the printer actually responded to the command from my Windows 10 64 bit system in that it queued up and actually pulled paper through the machine. When the printer finished installing itself, I clicked 'print a test page'. I started out by installing the printer to my system using the HP ColorLaserJet 1600 driver. This is just a general post for anyone who happens to be in the same situation, and is willing to do further experimenting on their end to see if they are able to get it working, but I will jump into what I was able to find. I am on Windows 10 64 bit as well, and have been doing some experimenting and have found a few things that could possibly get this working correctly in more advanced operating systems. I am very surprised that you were able to get this working in an 64 bit version of Windows 7 even.

Hello, I wish I had some assistance to offer you.
