HOW TO FIND DRIVER IN CATALOG UPDATE. Apparently, Windows has stopped supplying the 64-bit driver for the HP LaserJet 6MP even though it used to be accessible by using the 'Windows Update' button to fully populate the list of printers. I just got a new PC with Windows 10 Pro, and it simply was not there. (Yes, I know it used to be there.

For basic printing functionality use the Postscript PPD. For advanced functionality such as printer status and maintenance features, use the HPLIP driver (which includes HPIJS).

Only 800K of the first 1M SIMM is available for PS, the rest is a ROM interpreter. A 2nd 16M SIMM is recommended. Standard EDO or fast page SIMMs do not work. This printer ejects a blank page if ^D is received. This is unlike the 4MP. Magicfilter-1.2 setup: copy ljet4m-filter and replace the word 'postscript' by 'cat'.

I have a separate machine that has a LaserJet 6MP connected via it's parallel port. My particular printer does not have a USB interface.
In any event, that separate machine is on the local network and runs XP PRO. The printer is shared.
This setup has worked very well. On my Vista x64 installation I was able to add it as a networked printer and use it as such.
On Windows 7, it no longer does. When I try to install the printer, I get a message stating I should provide the *.inf file for this printer, as it's not part of the W7 driver base.
So I've googled around and gone to the HP web site. Apparently up until Vista, this printer was supported out of the box.
HP does not offer a driver download for XP or Vista, it just tells me to use the Windows provided driver. And they seem to provide no Windows 7 information, and I understand that (not available in stores yet).
So I looked on the XP machine that has this printer installed. The *.inf files in c:windows do not advertise themselves as anything 'hp' or 'lj' (laserjet) or. anything.
Anybody know a solution to this? I really want to keep this printer, it's a great workhorse. Share itunes library xml with other applications mac.

UPDATE:
DOH! Just found the right google string pointing me to a solution.
The 'Microsoft Update Catalog' actually offers a download for a Windows 7 compatible HP Laserjet 6MP driver:
http://catalog.update.microsof..loadInformation.aspx
I never knew of that site. Printer working, issue solved. I thought it'd be nice to leave this here for others who might run into the problem.
