HP LaserJet 6L software

[ms]

W98SE
Something changed my printing recently. Today, I tried to print and can't.

Where does the HP software normally install in W98? If Windows is in C: (of
course), where are the HP folders?

Something corrupted my HP Laserjet 6L properties, so that when I reinstall the
drivers from floppy disks, all the install screens look very normal. When
finished, I still can't see the installed HP software on the hard drive.

You might try downloading the drivers from
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...bmit.y=4&submit.x=7&lang=en&cc=us&swEnvOID=20.
It has been a while for me with Win 98 but I recall that drivers typically end
up in the c:\windows\drivers subdirectory.

OK, I just fired up a virtual Win 98 machine, downloaded and installed the
drivers from the HP site. The installer put the files in c:\lj622. To
actually install the driver I then needed to go to start, control panel, add
printer, told the installer I had a disk and pointed at c:\lj622. The driver
files end up in c:\windows\system once the printer is installed.

Thanks for the help.

AFAIK my driver floppy disks are still OK.

It's been so long since my first install of LaserJet, but on install, I believe
the HP software creates the HP LaserJet 6L printer icon?

My driver properties screen shows it's corrupted. Now, when I install, it still
shows "absolutely bogus WPS driver" ??? I don't know where that came from.

So if I delete the icon, and install the software, IIRC, it will recreate a new
icon with proper driver indicated.

Please comment on this.

TIA
