Hello all,
I am trying to let a WinXP 32 bit based computer using a printer which is attached to a Win 7 64 bit based computer.
Both computers share the same workgroup and 'see' shared files on each other. I am following instructions given by How-to-Geek (the link to the page: Share Files and Printers between Windows 7 and XP :: the How-To Geek ).
Both computer have drivers to the printer – a HP LaserJet 3050 – since the printer was previously attached to the WinXP based computer.
I shared the printer on the Win 7 computer but it refuses to also install x86 driver "so that user on suitable systems will be able to download them automatically when they are connect". I couldn't find the right *.inf file (I did search the HP site, downloaded the x86 package, extract it but still the required inf file was not found).
On the winXP computer, I find the right printer and when I try to add it I am told that the source computer doesn't have the right driver. When it ask me to locate that driver by myself I can't find it (though the printer was previously installed on that machine).
Can someone help?
Dose someone know what is the name of the missing inf file?
Thanks,
Utzly
