I have a new printer. HP Laserjet P1006

It isn;t on the list of drivers that are available when yu try and install a printer.

I've loaded up the driver CD and successfully installed. I can see it in the library.

But I've tried to link to all of the files contained in the download but do it successfully. I click on them (PLugins) and they are not drivers and so nothing hapens.

Any ideas

Hi

I think that maybe I've asked the wrong question. The printer is installed I think as I can see it via the work group.

But I can;t find a driver for it in the driver list.

I've done the full solution installer thing, but I'm still not seeing the driver anywhere to use. It isn;t in the list of drivers and I dont know where to point to in the file structore following the full solution downstall and installation.

During the installation I keep getting a pop up asking about network and usb printers, but non are listed in the drop downs.

cheers

Mike
