cant install printer driver when sharing HP printer
Hi,
I have just installed W7 32 bit on a desktop PC which has a HP deskjet F2180 attached to it via USB. I downloaded the W7 32 bit full feature driver and installed it. I have also enabled the printer to be shared on the network.
Now I have also just installed W732 bit on a Laptop. Both computers in are the same homegroup with same password etc.
When i try to add printer, network printer ... it finds the F2180 HP printer pretty quickly. However when it goes on to connect and download the drivers I get an error ..
"Unable to install printer. Driver files are missing or incorrect ...".
I have been searching for a solution to this, or to try and understand the problem but with no success. It would be really appreciated if anyone can shed any light on this?
Thanks in advance, Mike.
