HP LaserJet 6L software
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. |

It has been a while for me with Win 98 but I recall that drivers typically end up in the c:\windows\drivers subdirectory. Regards, Bob Headrick, not speaking for my employer HP |

When finished, I still can't see the installed HP software on the hard drive. 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. Regards, Bob Headrick, not speaking for my employer HP |

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 |
