Might be an obvious suggestion......
Did you run the file first to install it before trying to setup the
print. If you are pointing your setup to the actual file you download
from HP then it's no wonder it's not working as it's an executable file
(.exe) which contains the printer drivers. The drivers themselves have
to be "unpacked" from the exe file and then installed on the server.
