Hey, I've had my HP PSC 2410 printer networked for awhile --- I had it plugged into and running off my upstairs desktop computer, and then had the other computers connect through that computer. But this week I bought a US Robotics wireless-G router with a built-in print server from CompUSA ($15 - cheap!) and decided to plug the printer right in the router so the upstairs desktop wouldn't always have to be turned on.
Everyone can connect to the printer now, but there's one problem --- I had to use an alternate (and older) driver (HP Deskjet 990C), as per the directions from HP.com, to install the printer on each computer. But now, a few problems have arisen with borderless printing and such. Is there a way to avoid using only the printer drivers in Windows "Add Printer" and somehow get the drivers from my CD? I've been searching for awhile, but can't seem to find a solution. Thanks for reading, Jut

Yeah, just go to www.hp.com or whatever and download and install the driver for your printer on each computer. Then, once the printer is installed on each computer, just configure it so your computer knows it's a network printer, not local.
