DeskJet 932C won't install

I am trying to install a HP DeskJet 932C printer on a PC that is running
Windows 98 Second Edition. The driver installation software (autorun.exe),
from a third party download, won't run at all on the PC. There is no
apparent opening of the program and no error messages are produced. Why is
there no response to the program? What can I do to get this printer
installed? The Win98 SE CD does not contain drivers for the 932C as it was
first marketed in year 2000. The downloaded installation software runs OK on
another PC running Windows 98 First Edition. I do not have the original HP
installation CD. Note: HP is no longer providing product support and / or
drivers on their website for the 932C printer running on Windows 95 through
Windows ME.

Dang, forgot HP had complied with Microsoft directives, those are my old
links.

I had a similar problem with an HP printer. Open "control panel",
"printers" & "add printer".

I am disappointed in HP, but you are correct, their website is very clear
that they no longer provide drivers for win98, even on older hardware.
Funny, what would it cost HP to leave a few Meg of driver files on a server,
compared to the business they risk losing as people realize that they are
willing to provide poor support?

However, a Google search on "HP 932C drivers 98" got many hits. Here are
some that looked promising:

http://www.printer-drivers.com/drivers/82/82964.htm
http://members.driverguide.com/drive...driverid=82964
http://www.dirfile.com/hp_deskjet_93...iver_v_4_3.htm

Plan B: Find a friend with a similar printer and hope that he can find the
CD.

Plan C: Try drivers for a similar HP primter, something else in the 9xx
series. Be sure that they are intended for win98.

For future reference: Keep all original CDs (or disk images of them), and
also keep updated drivers, ussally as *.EXE files downloaded from hardware
makers.

For any others running win98, and shocked by HPs lack of support for win98,
take a look at Epson printers. A quick search of their support site showed
many drivers for win98 and even for win95.

Try this (from MS site)
uninstall the HP DeskJet 932C or 952C printer, and then install the HP
DeskJet 870CSe drivers by using the Add Printer Wizard. The 870CSe drivers
are included with Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and
Microsoft Windows 2000
