Printer Driver Help Needed

Hi Everyone,
Sorry if i'm posting wrong this is my first post here. I'm trying to update drivers for an HP Color Laserjet 2500, simple right? Here's the tricky part. The current system setup is windows 7 x64, and it's on a work network that does not allow for windows update. Well HP manufacturer site does not allow this specific driver to be downloaded from their site, it states that windows 7 will automatically download the driver for me. But it can't do to windows update being turned off. HP does offer a Universal Print driver, but this driver for some reason does not allow me the specific print options i need, such as printing in color. Can someone help me?

Thanks.

 

Sorry, i forgot to add that this is a local printer connected by USB.

thanks.

They recommend to use this driver for Vista 64bit which should work for Win7

Hi, Thanks guys. That solves that part of the mystery. I ended up having to use the UPD PCL 6 (since you guys pointed out 5 doesn't print color). And once the printer was installed i had to change the "device type" to color, in the "device settings" or the printer properties. So now all is well.

Thanks again!

 

Enjoy your printer my friend , thank you for the feedback !! :tas
