Resolved how one finds a printer url

Here's what I'm trying to do. I've networked three computers using Cisco Network Pro.
Two snags I'm running into -
1) I can connect to one of two hp printers from the laptop, but for one I'm being asked to download an '*.inf' file for the hp D4100 series. I've just downloaded a univeral printer driver but this doesn't do the trick. I'm not even sure what is meant by a inf file. Maybe someone can help.

2) From the Windows XP Desktop, I'm trying to connect also to the D4100 hp but it's asking me for the URL - I'm not sure what to put in here either. The D4100 hp is hooked up to my laptop. But again, I'm at a loss as to what to put in here.

Help would be appreciated - even if you have to make something up!!??!

 

Never realized you had moved Pete. Anyway, hope all is going well. :-}

 

So you mean, don't post any responses to my query to another forum, correct? Thanks Pete.
Have you any idea as how I can overcome the URL question ...

 

This is a D4160. I just overcame part of the snag on the Desktop by inserting the original Printer Disc in and installing the printer on this Desktop. Consequently, I was able to print from another Printer (the D4160) from this Desktop - on the network.
But - I tried to install the D4100 Printer from the disk onto another laptop using vista, and now I cannot install. It's telling me "this system does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements needed to install this product.
It's giving me two options - Run As and Operating System. Neither is working - that is, nothing is allowing me to install the HP Printer onto the Laptop where the OS is Vista.
Now I guess the question would be - why is that, and what can I do to install it.
I'm in Administrator mode on the Vista machine - help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks for the feedback - I've got the printer installed, but no way can I get it to print. The printer of course is on - no error messages when I try to print from the Laptop. The printer is geared for the network - will work on the hp c3100 series but still a no go on the hp D4160.
If there are any furthered suggestions, please fire them this way.

 

Actually, the reason I could not get the printer to kick into gear was that there were so many items stored up to be printed, apparently it was ready to go into meltdown.

I cleared everything out of that, and now both printers are working no problem. My last question I suppose, would be - what is the forums' take on the program "Network Magic" ------

 

The software - that little touch of Network Magic saved me a lot of money being spent on Tylenol. I tried for several hours to create a network to the point where I was ready to hurl myself into the side of a slow moving Greyhound Bus.

It was by accident I happened to light upon this Network Magic - consequently three computers are working very happily together and so are the printer(s).

Tony, I say we all have a moment of silence as we honour Network Magic. Indeed!!!
