Hey guys.I'm setting up my home network,and I've set the desktop and laptop up to share files,but I'm having trouble adding a printer on my laptop.I go through the whole wizard,but when I choose the printer from the list,it says the server doesn't have the correct driver installed,and asks to browse for driver.I click yes,then it says it needs a driver.inf,and asks me where to find it.What do I need to do here.The printer I am using is a HP Deskjet F300 Series,and I had to download the drivers for it off the HP site,because it was used and I had no driver disc.The printer works fine with my desktop,so I don't know what the problem is.Any help would be greatly appreciated,because I really want to use my printer from my laptop.Thanks!
