Okay so i am trying to install a HP photosmart 7450 printer, for some reason my computer is having a rough time with their software. I am currently in live chat with them, but they tell me this is the only software they have to install the drivers, they dont actually have the driver files.
i need someone to run this program
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software3/CO...2_enu_nonet.exe

and then send me the .dll or .inf files from it , they are usually put in C:\Windows\System32 if you have trouble finding them you can arrange them by date modified. I am not too sure how many files there will be but I know how to install the printer manually if you do send them to me. Ill be on aim djkrash65 If someone could help me plzzzzz
u can aim me if you need help too!

thanks

You might want to look up the HP Universal Printer Driver software on their site and see if your printer is compatible with this so you don't have to go through this hassle. That way, your computer will work with most printers with a single driver software install.

thanks hydro i am checking that out but i have a feeling my comp isnt gonna like their exe file i dont know why though i even tried using msconfig and booting only with windows files , i just unzipped these files hope its gonna work


hmm didnt work something is def wrong with my hw config , kuz when i reinstalled xp i got an error right after the os installed and its showing 2 processors, and every piece of hardware i install i manually have to go to hardware config and update the driver, it replaces the current one then starts working. I am going to do another "CLEAN" install now begins the process of copying all my data to external usb drives, thank god its only like 30gb kuz my laptop has only been active with me for like 2 weeks after the new install. i hate windozee!!
