Default Install Printer Driver Without Win98SE System CD

Hi,

I bought an older HP "Laser Jet" 6L printer at a yard sale.
This printer connects to the parallel port (no USB) and that is just
fine since I am using a Windows 98 desktop computer. I downloaded the
Windows 98 driver for this model printer.

When I connected the printer, turned it on, then turned on the computer,
Windows didn't give me an option to install the driver I downloaded. Instead,
it "built a driver database" and requested the Windows 98SE system CD!
Note: I didn't need the driver I downloaded.

If I didn't have the Windows 98SE system CD, how does one "get around"
this and install the driver from a different source?

Thanks in advance, Brad

be sure there is no active keystroke logger (spyware) in your PC.
