This worked well for my Windows 7 64 bit machine and an HP Laserjet 1000 on the network attached to a Windows XP machine. Thank you for sharing this.

I have been searching for a way to use my HP LaserJet 1000 printer for a number of months with no luck, until I found your link through Google. I set up Ghostscript, GSview, and the Redmon utility on XP my Computer. Then followed the instructions on the link you directed me to, http://iharder.sourceforge.net/current/macosx/winmacprinter/ Following the directions on that link I then selected an HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS from HP Website Drivers. Installed that printer on my XP Computer following those instructions from the link you provided. Then on my Windows 7 64 bit system I just simply browsed my Network for that HP LaserJet 2100 Series PS. Right clicked on it, and hit connect, windows searched for the Driver, installed same, and I was printing right away. Thanks for you information!

Thanks for bringing this all together for us! With your help, and about 90 minutes of time reading and setting all this up, I was able to print from my new Windows 7 laptop to my trusty HP LaserJet 1000 that’s attached to my Windows 2000 system. You might want to clarify that we do not need to follow the steps after Step #3 (not #4, as you mentioned) in the “OS X -> Windows printing” link you provided. That is, we don’t need to install the Unix Print Services, since we’ll be printing via Windows Printer Sharing. Thanks again for this helpful post!

Thank you very much! My biggest problem by the 64bit Windows7 is solved now! My EPSON EPL-5900L is working through the XP virtual machine.

Thank you very much, you solved one of my biggest problems with W7 64bit.
It worked almost perfect, just two notes:
1. I could not make alive the ghostscript printer, until I set option Print directly to printer.
2. the last step (emulated printer on W7) I could not make run. Finally I just noticed I see it in my shared printers and tried to print test page directly – and it worked!
