Default USB driver for HP laserjet printer?

I have a HP CLJ 2550L printer and Win98SE. I do not want to install the
normal software because it is lots of MB big and installs java, web
server and other silly things.
I want to have a normal small printer driver.

On the HP pages, I found the driver, but the description says:
"This package contains only the printer driver for the product. This
package does not contain the I/O communication drivers"

So the port drivers for USB are missing.
Where do I find those?

The Windows 98 operating systems did not include an in-box kernel-mode
USB print driver. Because of this, a vendor-supplied USB print driver
was originally needed for USB printing. Microsoft has since made the
USB printing solution available to vendors for redistribution with
their printer drivers for the Windows 98 operating systems. The
Microsoft USB printing solution for Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second
Edition will be available for redistribution until June 30, 2007
