A: On Windows 10 64-bit, the legacy "Scan to PC" button requires a running HP Scan service. Ensure that HP Device Monitor is running in your system tray. Alternatively, always initiate scans from your computer.
Warning: Avoid third-party “driver updater” software. Many contain adware or malware. Always download directly from HP’s official support website.
If you own an HP LaserJet M1132 Multifunction Printer (MFP) and have recently upgraded your PC to Windows 10 (64-bit) , you have likely encountered a common frustration: the printer no longer works, or Windows cannot find the correct driver. driver hp laserjet m1132 mfp windows 10 64-bit
The HP LaserJet M1132 is a reliable, legacy monochrome laser printer known for its printing, scanning, and copying capabilities. However, because it was released before Windows 10 became the standard, finding the correct driver for HP LaserJet M1132 MFP Windows 10 64-bit can be a maze of unofficial websites and misleading download buttons.
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know—from identifying your system architecture to installing the driver properly and troubleshooting common issues. A: On Windows 10 64-bit, the legacy "Scan
From a purely economic perspective, the time spent troubleshooting the M1132’s Windows 10 driver often exceeds the cost of a modern entry-level monochrome laser printer (e.g., Brother HL-L2350DW or HP LaserJet M209dwe), which includes native 64-bit drivers, wireless connectivity, and lower energy consumption. However, for home users, small offices on tight budgets, or those committed to e-waste reduction, the M1132 remains viable.
The key conclusion is this: the M1132 is not plug-and-play on Windows 10 64-bit, but it is not unusable. With the right technical approach—most reliably through a print server or, for printing only, the HP UPD—the device can serve for years more. The scanning function, unfortunately, is the first to become permanently non-functional unless the user deploys the insecure driver-signature bypass.

Note on Scanning: Windows Update often installs only the print driver. For scanning, you may need to proceed to Part 4.
For advanced users or network environments (if you use a print server), the HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) for Windows 64-bit is an excellent alternative.
Note: The UPD may disable some MFP-specific features like the scan button on the printer, but print quality is superior.
