I've successfuly installed a network printserver connected to the parallel

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.

Why not try it and see?

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.

You could connect the printer directly to the parallel port, install
it as a local printer, then connect the print server and change the
printer's port assignment.
