How to install a networked printer w/o driver support?
I have Win7 Pro installed on my laptop, and have an HP Deskjet 6122 attached to a desktop on my home network. When adding a network printer, I can see the printer, but since HP doesn't have ANY Win7 drivers released, Windows can't install it.
HP's site gives a workaround, saying to use a Deskjet 990c driver "which is included on the Win7 disc". Just to see what's included, I tried installing a local printer, browsed to the list of supported HP printers, and surprise surprise, no 990c listed (not that it's a local printer anyway).
So what's the fix for this? Since HP claims that the 'alternate driver', the 990c one, is included with Windows, it doesn't even offer a link to download this driver.
So how can I print from Windows 7 to a networked printer??
