I'm trying to install a shared HP laserjet 1100 on an NT4 wkstation. I downloaded and copied over the drivers for this printer on NT and pointed the add printer wizard to them but it's not accepting them. It's looking for an *.INF file and there are none in the extracted files. What am I missing?

The best thing to do is to go to the PC where the Printers at. Go to the printers properties and then Sharing, then load the additional Drivers for NT. Then when you install the Printer on another PC it wont ask you for NT Drivers.

Hi,
I have few LJ1100 printers. This is dependant by your drivers. You have three posibilities:your driver have an setup or install exe file (and you don't need to find the *.inf file), extracted files are not complete (missing inf file) or the driver is not designed for NT.
If you give me your e-mail address I can send you the newest driver (1,8Mb)-downloaded from HP site.
You don't have the original CD for this printer? This CD have autorun option and a wizard for instalation.

If your printer is allready installed and shared and you can't add it on other workstation you have two choices:
-on computer where is attached the printer install additional drivers for NT.
-on computer where you want adding this printer use add network printer, chose this network printer and use "have disk" options and browse/give the path for driver.
Also if you have more installs you can copy driver on a shared location and use from here.

I've tried installing additional drivers from the sharing tab in the printer properties (a very good suggestion), but the XP station where the printer is shared is still not accepting the drivers. I've downloaded them twice now -- once from HP, once from driverguide.com.

I'm closing this since no is checking back up on me. The first suggestions were good but so far have not worked.
