Here's how to get XP HP driver working in Vista. Doesn't work for Vista64.
HP told me this work-around for HP1018 LaserJet and it worked for me. Might
for your printer too.

1) Insert the CD-ROM that came with your Printer and install the drivers of
windows XP on your Windows Vista computer. These XP software & drivers are
Vista Compatible after tweaking the Printer Properties. Reboot after
installing. 2) Go to Start/Printers. Right click HP LaserJet 1018 then click
Properties. An HP LaserJet Properties window should have popped up. 3) Click
the Advanced Tab. Click the Print Processor button located at bottom of
window. 4) Select print processor as IMFPrint. Then Select Default Data Type
as RAW. Click OK. 5) Now return to the main HP LaserJet Properties window
and click the General Tab. On the Bottom of that window, Click the Print
Test Page Button. A test page should be printing out if you adjusted the
printer properties correctly.
