I agree with MichaelPatrickLyons66.

The link posted by Mahesh has a single download available on it for the 'HP Print and Scan Doctor'. This diagnostic tool correctly identifies the my DeskJet 1280 is not installed, but then points back to the exact same download page that it was downloaded from, but there aren't any drivers there!

The question is, why aren't HP supporting this printer (there's no Win7-64bit driver for it either).

Correct...

That is the question... for HP. :-)
Hardware support always have and likely always will come from the hardware manufacturer themselves - including software and drivers.

The short answer is that the printer in question was deemed legacy AFTER Windows Vista's release. It's old, out-dated and HP replaced it with newer models and are not providing drivers for Windows 7 or Windows 8. You may be able to get it to work with native drivers or drivers for another model or universal drivers. Might even be able to download and install the Vista drivers in compatibility mode. However - HP has abandoned the printer in-as-far as any current operating systems.

Thanks yes I agree, but it's most misleading that HP don't state the fact this printer is deemed legacy and un-supported, particularly when the following page suggests it is supported in Windows 8 (64-bit).

I've managed to get the DeskJet 1280 working using the DeskJet 1220c driver, but it's far from ideal as the printing options are limited. If it's a ploy to get me to replace my printer, it might work, but I guarantee it won't ever be an HP again.

If you get another brand - likely you will get the same treatment a few operating systems down the line for it.

People have been complaining about this sort of thing for a long time... Hardware has a limited life if for no other reason than economics. ;-)

Found a better driver, there's a DeskJet 1280 one for Vista (64-bit) available and works in Win8 (64-bit).

This works fine for text printing, still limited options compared to printing from XP.

Looks like I'll have to hang on to my XP laptop for a little longer, just so I can transfer files to it and print direct from there when I need more printing options ;)
