Hi,
I'm happy for all who had success with Allenns package. However, about 1 year ago, I tried his solution for about 3 months, always in contact with Allenn, changed many thing, tried over and over, but without success. I gave up.
The following describes the installation as network-printer
Now I found an easy solution (in German: Link Removed - Invalid URL ):
(Internet connection needed)
System control --> add printer --> local --> LPT1
Than choose Windows update and wait for list of drivers loading
Choose --> HP --> 1220C
After installing you can name the printer HP2000C or Johnny or Jane, as you like it.
Now you need the HP install network printer wizard:

Download and install this tool and let it work. It will find, if connected, your HP2000C. For installing, you choose the "recently installed driver" for HP1220C.
Name it, as you like. Now you have two new printers in the system control, for local or network use. Choose the right one as default.
With network, it works great, I did not test it locally, because I have no adapter from USB to the old Printer plug.
