How do I install the Deskjet 722C driver to function as a network printer rather than a dedicated PC parallel port printer
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. -- Warren No spam address used. Please reply to group only. |
