SOURCE: Can't download and install printer

There is no downloadable driver for this printer. You just need to update the Windows 7 list on your computer with the latest update. Here are the instructions from hp:

i updated my driver for my hp1220C on XP after a crash that stopped the valuable print preview function working ...(printer worked but was print immediate - -and no tool box options etc) . i can't believe i found how to fix the driver ... you need to right click the exe file [before running it] dj1074en.exe or whatever ... and 'properties' - 'compatibility' click near 'compatibility mode' 'windows 2000' - then run it ... and voila -- i now have the print preview and all the lovely functions back again!!!! crazy!! took me 3 hours to find this ... it may well work with vista -- to select the windows 2000 option .. don't know that one ... at least until HP update all corectly and clearly

Hi. Please check your if you have 32-bit or 64-bit system. Download and install the correct driver from HP. Again, please use 64-bit bit drivers for Windows 7 64-bit.

To check if your system is 32-bit or 64-bit, click "START" then right click "COMPUTER" then select "Properties".

HP 1220c driver for windows 8 64 bit

All of the HP drivers for the HP 1220C are available here: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=19142 . For Windows 8 and higher, the driver should be available through Windows Update. Make sure that the computer is connected to the internet and connect a USB cable between the computer and the printer. The printer should be on. If you do not see any activity, try accessing Windows Update and checking for updates manually.

Note: you do need allow Windows to automatically download driver software. See http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01796879 for some of the items to check. Additional steps are here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Inkjet-Printing/I-need-a-printer-driver-for-my-Deskjet-1220C-to-use-on/td-p/5485192 .

I hope this helps. Some of the Windows Update steps can be slow.

Hp dj 1220c printer driver refused to install on my windows 7

Try to reset the factory settings: Go to Settings tab and press the Resets option. This will change all the settings to default factory settings. Try to print using another OS and check if there is a difference in the print quality. Try to print in draft mode and in FastRes 1200 mode. Tip and tricks for all deskjet setup

Unistall any previous you have installed for your device.

The Driver for Your Product Is Included in the Windows 7 Operating System (i.e. Win 7-32bit & 64bit).
Simply connect the printer to your computer with a USB cable, and Windows Update automatically installs the driver for your product.

Hope it helps.

Hello I have no custom paper size option in my printer properties OS : windows 7 32bit Printer: HP deskjet 1220C

I would suggest you to uninstall the currently installed Hp Software and printer's driver from your computer and reinstall them. This should fix the issue if there's no problem with your computer like virus or system corrupt etc... Let me know if the problem persists.

Note: Don't forget to restart your computer before you reinstall the programs after it's/they are uninstalled.

Good luck.
