I am having no luck trying to locate and install (x86) / 32 bit printer drivers for an HP LaserJet 4 plus printer.
Here is the situation…
I’m running Win 7 64 bit and am trying to add additional drivers for the printer so that I can share it (via Homegroup) with other machines running Win 7 (x86) / 32 bit. I am prompted to provide the location of the driver…
I found a download for the driver (HP says the file is already part of the OS, but I cant find it) and that part goes fine…
The next step is asking “Install components from Windows media”. It looks like it wants the ‘ntprint.inf’ file, but the one on the machine (in the ‘ntprint.inf_x86_neutral_c4c11fe1f3d01835’ folder) will not work, I get this pop up: “… INF does not contain the required driver components”
I have tried several work-around / cheats – such as trying to grab a copy of ‘ntprint.inf_xxx’ from other (32 bit) locations, with the same results.
Any suggestions or remedies?
