I recently installed Windows 7 64 bit and I'm trying to add an hp deskjet 970Cse printer that's been shared on my corporate network. Can you ps3 games without jailbreak free. I went to HP's web site and looked for the appropriate Windows 7 64-bit driver to download and found there isn't one, thatit is supposed to be built into Windows 7 and that Windows 7 should find the driver automatically when I add the printer, which it doesn't seem to be able to do, at least for this shared printer. I moved the printer and physically connected it to my Windows7 system and W7 was able to install the correct driver.
I then put the printer back on the system on which it belongs and was still unable to connect to it through the network. I went through HP support to try to get them to send me the driver so I couldpoint to it manually to get the printer installed that way but after much back and forth, they refused to do so.The system on my corporate network on which the printer is physically connected and installed is a system running Windows XP 32-bit with service pack 3. On my own W7 64-bit system, I go to Control Panel Hardware and Sound Devices and Printers and select'Add a Printer'. I then select 'Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth pinter'. It searches and says 'No printers were found' so I click 'The printer that I want isn't listed'. In the next dialog, I choose 'Select a shared printer by name', select the Browsebutton, navigate to the system with the printer installed and select the printer. The correct printer share name is then displayed in the edit control and I click 'Next'.
I get a message box with the caption 'Windows Printer Installation'. The message says'Connecting to hpdeskjet on NADPAYNE' on the first line and 'Looking for a driver' briefly on the second line before the message changes to 'Checking Windows Update. This might take a while.' It continues for a little bit then displays a second messagebox with the caption 'Connect to Printer' and the message 'No driver found. Windows can't find a driver for hp deskjet 970c series on the network.

To locate one manually, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel and consult your network administrator or the printermanufacturer's website.' Is it possible to add this printer to my W7 64-bit system when it's shared out by a WinXP 32-bit system? If yes, how?Thx. I knew I should have waited just a few more minutes before submitting this question!!I answered this question myself by using different words when searching for a solution.
I had used 'network printer' not 'shared printer'. When I searched using 'shared printer', I found the following link:for Windows Vista printing to shared Windows XP printer.This solved my issue which in a nutshell is that you need to set up shared printers (as opposed to network printers) by telling the system that you are adding a local printer, create a new port for it and use the full shared name of the printer to which youwant to connect, then tell the system which printer it is. The link above shows the steps.

Hi Paul,Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.I understand that you require printer driver compatible with 64 Bit Windows 7 operating system.As per my research on the manufacturer's support website, we could not find DeskJet 970 series of printer. Hence, could not find the driver. So, this could be due to the decision made by manufacture to retire the same model.You may refer to:You may refer to the following article that can help you find the recommended drivers and updates for your hardware.Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.
