Hi all :O)

Just tried to adda win7 shared printer (model Hp 2420) to an xp home workstation on the same network.
When i add it manually or vie "connect", It sees the printer, But asks for driver files. I downloaded it's files from hp site (Specific winxp drivers and universal too), But it just refuses to recognise the printer with these drivers.
It doesn't even let me choose manually a compatible driver.
What I did is captured the lpt1 port via NET USE command and then installed the driver. it works, but I don't like it to be dependent on Dos mode sharing.

Would appreciate your insights.

Thank you
