LaserJet Printers
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (64-bit)

Hi All,

 

We have about 12 network printers here which are mostly HP.

 

The HP printers are all networked laserjet of models: 3005, 2420, 4200, 4350.

 

I am using the universal print driver and installing the driver directly to my server so I do not use the install.exe file rather I install the driver through windows print management.

 

The priblem though is that it lists all of the below inf files and I never know which one to choose. I usually guess, which does make the printer work, I would really like to clarify this though,

 

hpbuio200l.inf
hpbuio200le.inf
hpcu190u.inf
hpmews02.inf
hpmldm02.inf
hppewnd.inf
hppfaxnd.inf
hppscnd.inf
hpzid4vp.inf
hpzipa23.inf
hpzipr23.inf
hpzius23.inf

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Found this info on a post by jclarkw which has the following:

 

 

Well, I gave up on you guys and called HP tech support.  They tell me that, since XP, all versions of Windows automatically select the correct .INF file.  Therefore it's only necessary to select any.INF file (effectively, to point Window to the correct directory), and the installation will proceed correctly.  I hope this helps somebody else! -- jclarkw
