My main computer is a Dell running Windows XP home. I've got an HP
Photosmart 7760 printer direct connected to it that I need to share with a
laptop also running XP and another laptop running ME. No problem sharing
with the XP laptop, but the ME is driving me nuts.

My understanding is that all I should have to do is go to Control
panel/Printers and faxes, then highlight the printer I want to share. Then
click on "Share this printer", Additional drivers, highlight the line for
Win 95, 98 and ME and then let 'er rip with the printer installation CD in
the drive. Problem is, it's looking for a file called HP_Install_7700_
which doesn't seem to exist on the cd. The cd says it can be used to
install the printer on all operating systems. I've downloaded drivers from
HP, but they're the same as the CD. That file just doesn't seem to exist.
Can anybody lend a hand?

Thanks,

Dan
