Iv got this HP 920c in my parents room.
Its shared out on the network
Im trying to install it on my system, but windows 7 cant find the driver on the network to install it on my pc...so now I have to point it to an INF file which I don't have and cant find. Iv tried looking for it online, but I can only find USB .exe installs. Any help? I really just need that INF file I guess, normally it just takes the driver from the host PC...but I guess not in this case. Any help would be great
 
Is the printer attached to a computer? If so, then that computer would have to be on for your computer to see it. Also you probably need to make sure that you are using the same workgroup name as the computer sharing the printer.
 
You may want to try and setup the printer directly on the Windows 7 computer first. It sounds like your only real problem is drivers. I know HP prints can have quite flakey drivers/driver installers. However, you may be able to find a more generic HP driver within Windows 7 driver repository and make it work that way.

Once that much works, then I'd begin trying to network them.
