additional printer driver problem

I have two computers at home, running W2K pro and W95
connected through DLink DI-704P (series B) router. I have
HP Deskjet 722C printer connected through a parallel port
to the W2K computer. The printer is set as shared. I
cannot print to it from W95 despite it is added there as a
default printer. I deleted it and added using windows
wizard several times. The wizard sees the printer ok. Both
computer can talk to each other through ping command as
well as I can open all shared files from both locations.

It seems to be a driver problem. On W2K machine I have a
message saying that since the printer is shared I may need
additonal driver installed for a different OS. However,
when I try to istall the W95 driver directly there (i.e.,
on W2K box), it will not install. If I try to do it
through a dialog box opening under
pritner/properties/sharing etc. it asks for a .inf file. I
can find the file using search in Windows Explorer
searching for *.inf, yet the installation package does not
recognize it somehow.

Will appreciate any help.
