can't add shared printer to laptop

Guest

i have a home network with 3 computers (XP home with sp2) and a shared
officejet d145. it all works fine. when i add my laptop (xp pro with sp2) to
the network and try to add the d145 to the laptop printer group. the wizard
finds the d145 on the home network but tells me it can't find the appropriate
driver. i tried using the hp d145 cd but that doesn't work either. hp wants
to charge me $30 even though i just purchased the hp zx5000 a month ago. help!

i solved my problem. i started adding the printer and when it got to not
finding the driver i had the wizard browse the hp cd (d:\Drivers\winxp) and
select the xp driver in that folder and the printer was added to my laptop
printer group .
