Print Driver's Path: Where are they stored?

Factual Questions
1

I’m looking for the path on the Windows 2000 disk to point my Install Wizard to the correct drivers for my HP Deskjet 722C for proper installation. When I tell the Install Wizard to find them, it says it can’t find them. However, I believe it is only looking in the root directory…in other words, it’s missing the sub-directories (folders).

I’m, asking because I really don’t want to BUY a new printer when this one SHOULD be “working and playing nicely” with Windows 2000.

I need the path…brute force guessing is just too inefficient.
Any ideas where the drivers are usually stored?
Thanks,
Jinx

It may be possible that you need to run a setup program in the CD to install the driver.

Question on a related note:
I shared an HP Deskjet 880c in windows 2000 server, and chose the option to install drivers for other operating systems, windows 98/95. Unfortunately, when I did that, I used the wrong driver.

How do I remove or change the windows 98/95 shared print drivers?

I know I submitted this before…
Point it to your I386 (assuming you’re on an intel machine) install files directory. That should work.

Question for Joe_Cool: Your suggestion only works for an Intel? I have an IBM Aptiva. Why should the Install Wizard care? Personally, I was expecting to point the Wizard to the CD-Rom disk for Windows 2000…

Can you help me by being a little more explicit?

Thanks from “dummies”,
