You are not wrong. It's a HP problem (Since one year) (also in 4500 and other HP printers)

I really hope someone can help me understand !!
This is my quandry.
I have a W2K server which is to be used as a printer server. We have a mixed
client base and so I would like use the support for installing additional
drivers to allow clients to "point and print" as the documentation calls it.
My first attempt was with a HP Laserjet 4000 but the same problem has
occured with numerous other models. The W2K driver is already up and running
and prints like a charm. Now I would like to provide the drivers for Win NT
and Win 9x clients to use.
I downloaded the necessary "point and print" driver bundle from the HP site,
unzipped them and went to install them.
I have repeated the procedure now in a 1000 different ways but the
additional drivers will not install. I select the HP 4000 under printers,
choose to add "Additional Drivers", make my selection from the list
available (Intel - Windows NT 4.0 or 2000), point the installation to the
INF file in the driver directory I just created and then I get an error "The
printer driver you selected is either not compatible with your current
version of windows, or............." but it is a driver supplied by HP for
Win NT !!!
The INF file is not called OEMSETUP.INF but has in this instance the name HP2224p6.INF
Do I have to have an OEMSETUP.INF file and if I do why isnt it in the file made available on the HP site ?
Please can anyone explain what is going wrong ?!? Any clues, any tips, please !!
Many thanks,
