So I have an HP PSC-2410, a desktop computer in another room running the Windows 7 beta, 64-bit, and a D-link DPR-1260 wireless print server.
I've hooked the printer up to the computer and allowed Windows Update to locate a driver that installs successfully and allows it to print, so I know such a driver exists that works with Windows 7 beta x64. I cannot keep the printer attached to the computer at all times, though. Hence the wireless print server.
The problem is that when I try to run the set-up tool for the print server, it asks me to locate the driver (the inf) for the printer so that it can install the printer in such a way that it operates through the print server. I cannot locate this driver inf, that I know exists, and when I try the set-up tool tells me that the driver doesn't exist in any of the folders I have tried.
I've tried c:\windows\inf, c:\windows\system32\drivers, etc.
Any advice would be much appreciated. I know that using Windows 7 beta x64 makes this trickier, but I just enjoy the operating system so much.
