How can i install my printer without the software cd?

I have an old printer (HP 1100). My laptop is newer than the printer and its running on Vista. When i inserted the Printer CD to install the software it showed me the files, did however not prompt me to start installing. Is there a way I can install it?

  • Answer:

    You could try look on the disk for the set up.exe file and double click it. If that doesnt work it may be that your printer will not work with Vista - I have the same problem with a scanner that I have. You could try to see if there is a driver you can download from HP for your printer that is compatible with Vista. But as your printer is old, it is likely that a driver will not exist.
