|  Problems with HP Color LaserJet 3700n Setup from network
I am trying to install a queue that connects to a 3700n printer. The driver is not on a server so I go to hp to download the driver. So when I manually locate the driver on my hard drive, WinXP tells me that it is not a suitable driver. What gives? |

welcome to the forum!
is it just saying something like the driver is not "digitally signed?"
if it is just ignore it.

is the driver in a "zip" file?? you might have to unzip it first to a folder and then try to update the driver and point to that folder | |

what are the instructions for installing the drivers?
does the "que" have a part number or model name??
the drivers for a print server wouldnt be the same as the drivers for the pinter itself I dont think, unless the print server is part of the printer. | |
