So, I picked up a small linysys swich that was a (USB) port for a printer to make a printer on the network.

Well, in order to get the thing working, I have to isntall a nework printer on all our computers vioa the IP. My only issue is getting the appropriate drivers assicated with the printer. I cannot, for the lfie of me, get the a dam inf or the 50MB HP drivers to work with the printer. Anyone come across this and resolve it?

HP usually has a "Network printer driver" specificlly. Usualy in the enu folder you will find the INF somewhere.

What OS are you using?
IF your are using winxp, go to control panel and run network setup wizard. The PC's should be on the same workgroup.
When you had print and file sharing, try to add printer from network and it should install the drivers for the printer.
Hope that help.
