Either way your best source is HP.

In the meantime, you can probably find a driver that will work that was maybe written for another series of printers. Here is a link to a driver that 79% have voted as being compatible with Win 7: http://www.bioticaindia.com/deskjet-6800.html If it doesn't work just google "hp 6800 driver win7" Make sure you create a restore point before trying unapproved drivers. I would restore back to current status each time before trying more than one (if necessary), to ensure no extra unwanted files are left behind. While using unapproved drivers is not generally recommended, sometimes it's the only way to extend the life of a peripheral. I have done it a number of times without regret.

I have a LaserJet 5 that is atleast 8 years old and Windows 7 found a Microsoft Windows driver for it.

If they don't install, W7 asks to reinstall using recommended settings, then it repeats the install. This worked for my setup. RPvet.

Go to "peripherals and printers" and then "add a new printer". Then select a port, at least to get access to the next screen where you have an option "windows update" to clic on. Doing this you get a lot of new printers which were not on the DVD and among them is an "HP Deskjet 6800 series" . I installed the printer on the home network (not wireless).
