Hewlett-Packard Hassle with Printers
Dec 6, 2012 5:35AM PST

Note that HP LaserJet Series 1005 Printer is completely different device than P1005 or M1005.
Mixing these devices is a common error. Software drivers for these devices are not interchangeable.
H-P has never published Windows 7 software drivers for their LaserJet Series 1005 Printer.

Print to PDF then send that to something that can print the PDF.
