I thought I had a bright idea of caturing the LPT1 port in the print driver
and redirecting to the network server port, but for some reason that doesn't
seem to work.

I've successfuly installed a network printserver connected to the parallel
port of my printer, but I'm stuck at the last step of installing the
printer
driver for the printer. I can define the printer port on the network but
when I go to install the printer driver using the Printer Wizard, my
Windows
98SE doesn't have the Deskjet 722C driver, so I have to select "Have
Disk".
When I insert the HP disk it finds the driver on the disk but won't let me
install the driver, saying I have to install the printer driver using the
setup.exe file. Unfortunately the HP setup.exe only seems to provide
options for connecting through my PC's parallel port and gives no option
for driving through a network connection. I could try typing in the
network
port name over the LPT1 name in the HPsetup.exe wizard, but I have my
doubts
the HP wizard will accept it.

So close but so far. Anybody got any suggestions on where I can get a
printer driver for an HP Deskjet 722C that will allow me to install
through
the Add Printer Wizard. Or is there another way around this problem I
think
I have.

Thanks in advance for your time.
