HP Officejet H470 Windows XP drivers.

[US001fan]

I have a proprietary Windows XP on a portable medical equipment.  I am trying to load window drivers for the Officejet H470.

I get the Windows XP pop-up add-on window looking the the printer drivers.   Because my system uses a proprietary

Windows XP behind the main software, I am not able to run any .EXE or .COM software.  The printer driver on HP website

(OJH470_Basic_9) is an executable software not just Windows XP drivers.  I can't use it in its present form.  I'm looking for

just Windows XP drivers only that Windows XP can use.

Hi:

I think you are going to have to experiment here.

Download the HP Officejet Basic Driver - IT Professional Use Only (only because it is 15 MB instead of 123MB)

Then download this free file extraction utility: If you can't run any .exe file on the PC that needs the printer, just do this on another PC and copy the extracted folder to a flash drive or CD.

http://7-zip.org/

I did this, and got a folder with extracted drivers.

I would do the add a printer thing, and then when it asks for drivers, and you select Have Disk, then point it to the extracted folder.

I am thinking it specifically needs the .inf file labeled hpoj470a.inf to begin the installation process.
