Installation Failed for HP Laserjet 1200 Series in the new computer laptop with Windows 8, 64-bit

Name of the product - HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 6 Driver

Operating system: Windows 8 Home Edition, 64-bit

Error message: cannot find the series 1200 on the network. To locate manually click ok...

Changes Made - this is an installation on the new laptop, in Windows 8, 64-bit

Description:

1 installation of an existing network, consistedof a desk and two wireless laptops.

2. the two portable computers have Windows 7, 64 bit. Above the named printer is accessed successfully for laptops.

3 replaces one of cell phones with 8 64-bit Windows.

4. the path of the 1200 series is: wireless printer to the router, router to the desktop via ethernet, from desktop to a printer via a cable.

5. the configuration of the wireless printer is

Name: HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 5

Port: \\Central\HPLaserj

Printer: HP Laserjet 1200 Series PCL 5

Driver: HPMCPM25. GPD 5.8.2008

Problem

Impossible to re-create this path with Windows 8, 64-bit configuration.

a. when I try to download a driver always end up with a file called UPD-pcl6 - x 64 - 5.6.0.14430

This seems to be a universal PCL 6 printer driver, can successfully decompress the file and create a folder

b. during installation, I can see the desktop ICON printer (name: \\central\HPLaserj); So far so good

c. process is unable to locate a driver and ordered to locate manually.

d. accessing the HP Universal Driver files fails because a driver is not found.

e. caraa attempt enter fails because you can't enter address above (\\central\HPlaserj). Cannot enter HPLaserj for the address, which obviously does not work.

f. when the installation showed a list of drivers, the only one that I found was a universal PCL 6, which is what I thought, I tried to download the original.

This set up has worked successfully to Windows 7 64 bit. It seems that I need help much more expertise to guide me through this whole upward.

Problem solved.
