An update on my own post..... I have installed Win 7 Home Premium 32-bit as an update and lo and behold, my Laserjet 1000 works great!! Soooo, it would appear that if one has been running Vista and the HP Laserjet 1000 printer without any problems, that it should run OK on Windows 7 as well. I did not do anything special, just the normal update install of Win 7.
