Install HP LaserJet 1000 to Windows 7 64-Bit

Have a newly reformatted PC with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  All works fine except of course the HP Laserjet, which I assumed would be a no-brainer at all.  Figures HP doesn't have the necessary drivers.  I tried their Universal Printer driver which I've used before with other machines and Win 7 but having a heck of a time with this.  I even tried faking it out by trying to add a printer using a different driver.  That doesn't work.  It just doesn't "SEE" it correctly.

Any ideas?

I cannot find the HP Universal Printer Installer package I had used before which worked pretty well.  What I'm seeing here and downloading is only drivers.  None of which are working yet.  Anyone have a link to the actual "Setup" installer for HP Universal.  It's a local, USB connection.  Is that LPT or USB Virtual?

Thanks all for input.  However, nothing appears to be working as normal.  I believe there is something wrong with this printer.  Windows will not finish sensing it and installing it completely.  I do not have those options to update driver etc.  I am a seasoned Tech and this whole thing has been very unusual.  The rig sees "a device" but does not identify it as any certain item.  I had to manually add printer and try using a different HP driver just to get an icon.  However, it is not added to Device Manager in any fashion and the choices when you right click added icon in Printers & Devices choices a limited.

Nothing worked.  Advising client to get newer printer.
