I searched the HP directory where the files are stored and found several .inf 
files but none worked...

What type of printer is it anyway? When I have attempted to print from a
WinXP machine to my FreeBSD one, it installed a printer driver
automatically.

It appears that this driver is for an HP PhotoSmart printer. Did you
follow the directions on this URL: 
?

You might need to remove the driver and reinstall as described on the HP
page. If that fails, you could try their support line.

How to Print from WIN XP to Samba

[Derrick Edwards]

Hi, 
I am having problems setting up windows XP Pro to print to SAMBA Print Server. 
I have an HP PSC 2210, using the HPLIP CUPS driver.  I am printing fine from 
the FreeBSD box that it is attached to. I can browse to the printer however, 
once I connect to it, it says that the correct driver is not provided. I 
downloaded the Windows Driver for the printer (rw2_021_w02_enu.exe), and 
printed fine from the XP box so I know that the driver is there and works.  
When prompted for path of driver, I browse and select the executlable 
(rw2_021_w02_enu.exe) however, it onlys wants the .inf file. I dont know that 
.inf file that XP wants. Can someone help me out on this. Thanks in advance.
