I have the Deskjet 690c shared on a network and when I tried installing it
with
win 2000 pro it couldn't find any drivers for it. I went on the HP site and
it
said that microsoft provided these drivers with 2000. Well it certainly
isn't
working.

For some reason I can install the printer if I specify it is local, however
can't
seem to get the printer driver installed when I'm trying to install it from
the
Network.

Help????

Use add printer and select local printer. Then select creat a new port (you want local port in the drop down box) click netxt and then in the port name box put the path to the printer in (\\computername\printersharename).
