Hi !
In case this might still be of interest
for the german version I found out:
LJ 1000 can only be installed via setup.exe.It can be downloaded from HP, XP driver section, and has to be unpacked to a directory along with all aother files.
If you start setup.exe directly, it shows 4 to 5 error messages, which tell you the driver could not be installed - which is actually true
Workaraound goes like this: start manual printer installation, choose USB printer port and select the*.inf file from the unpacked setup root directory. Vista takes some time examining, then starts setup.exe in some sort of different user context. Click through as usual - you will recieve only two error messages, but before that your LJ 1000 will start printing a test page
I have no idea, WHY it works, but I don't care, either. Printer is printing - that's important.
Greetz,
