Re: Missing HP Drivers

Been playing with this problem again this evening.
Have found that if I point the "Browse for driver on your computer" at the
root of C and then instruct it to check all sub folders, it will find
"C:\Windows\INF\prnhp001.inf"
Plus a lot of files "C:\users\all
users\microsoft\windows\wer\reportqueue\report....\prnhp001.inf I guess
Vista know what is going wrong if I don't.
Any way installing the prnhp01.inf it then tell me that "Windows
encountered a problem installing the driver softwear for your device" +
"Unable to find a core driver package that is required bt the printer driver
package"

Still not printing
