No network printer drivers for HP?

[konichiwa]

Trying to share my new printer over the network, and there seems to be no network printer drivers for the HP 932C (for WinME) -- Windows doesn't even have the driver in its driver database, and HP has one of those silly install programs for their drivers and it won't let me install because the driver is not connected locally.

How can I get around this? I tried just manually using several of the .INF files in the driver package, but to no avail...

There are various ways around it. You could either capture the ntwork share to say LPT2 or something, then install the HP to LPT2. Or, install it as default to LPT1, then after installing, change the port to the network share.

Thanks. Why didn't I think of that?
