Thank you so much, Mike. It's up and running!

I appreciate all your help.

It would appear that the driver you have can only be installed by running
an executable on the CD rather than from an INF file. Is a different
driver available that you can download from the manufacturer's web site?
You say that you have installed the driver on your Win Me PC but using a
usb connection. Try selecting this printer in Printers, right clicking
and opening Properties. Open the Ports tab (or it may be on a Details
tab) and then change the port to which the print jobs will be sent. Click
Add/Port, Network and then browse to the printer which should appear as
something like \\{PCName to which printer connected\{Printer Name}. Note
that it is best if neither the PC nor Printer name contain spaces and is
short, say 8 or at most 12 characters.

That doesn't work on this laptop for some reason. I, too, have the
Agfa printer highlighted, click on Have Disk, chose the drive where
the installation disk is, and get an error message stating that "The
specified location does not contain information about your hardware."

Can you think of anything else to do?
