The printer was given to me....worked well with my very old compueter (?)....so I don't have a  disc to intall it to my new computer.  I'm not very computer savyy and don't know what to do.  Any suggestions out there?

I have a LaserJet 1200 that works just fine with Vista.  Go to this site and download the PCL5 driver.  Then install it and plug in the printer.
