This printer model lacks compatible color drivers.
I received that printer today with the fitting PCI card. They told me getting drivers could be a bit challenging. I decided to quickly search online and downloaded one, but it ended up installing drivers for a newer "Laserjet Pro 200 M251nw" with color support. When I asked about the connection method—USB, LAN, or WLAN—I realized those options weren’t available for this printer. I looked a bit more, but haven’t found anything yet. Do any of you know where I can find the Win7 63bit drivers for it? Having them would be super helpful.
These drivers aren't functioning? I'm not sure if I grasp your issue properly. Your printer doesn't support USB, LAN, or WLAN connections? How does it connect to the PC? When installing the driver and asking to connect the printer, you typically just need to power it on (if already connected) and Windows will find it automatically. If you're using a different connection method, you must first have Windows recognize it as a printer before drivers can work. HP's customer support should offer the specific assistance you require.
It's linked through that quirky old printer port (the long blue cable). The device was turned on during the setup, so you should be able to locate it in the list of connected printers under "Devices and Printers."
