Trying to load my HP 1220C Printer driver to work on W7OS,...it does not show up in the list of HP Printers ......so how do I load it?

Are you talking the list of drivers included with Windows or on the HP website?

h[.com says you have to use windows update

should be able to just plug the printer in, and the OS should find it and set up the driver....WIndows update should go get it for me.
When I go to install a USB driver manually, the windows list does not show the HP 1220C printer, it is about 8 yr old, so it should be there.
How best to proceed?

This is one of the great persistent myths about Windows: That it comes this large catalog of drivers. It doesn't. You have to expend some level of effort yourself.
