    I got her a used hp laser jet 1200.

    She has an hp laptop with 64bit windows 7 connected with usb

    The issue is that the amber light keeps on flashing. I checked all the door to make sure they are closed and there is paper in it.

    I looked online and one possible solution was that it was out of toner but I thought my dad tested it when we got it and it was fine.

    I am not even able to get a test Page to print and the driver will not install (windows update fails).

    Now I tried my crapbook and I had the same issue with the amber light and not being able to print.

    Any ideas?

    Have you tried installing drivers from HP instead of using Windows update?
