Go to printers and manually install, right click in the open printers window and choose Run As Administrator>add printer. 3.) Add a local printer using the existing port: USB001(virtual printer port for USB) 4.) In the next window choose Manufacturer: HP, Printers: HP Photosmart 7200 series. 5.) Then hit next and away you go, you should have the little window asking if you want to print a test page, click yes and if all went as well as it did for me it should be printing a test page. PS Make sure the printer USB is plugged in and printer is turned on. w00t thanks guys

WOW.....i tried everything and i finally googled photosmart 12 drivers and found your instructions. I followed the steps and IT WORKS !!!!!!!!!! I really didnt want to be forced to buy another printer when this one works just fine. Thanks again !!!! Wendy
