i tried to create HP LJ4x50 printer driver component from .inf file of the
driver that came with the printer. the files it added for the component have
destination path of %66000% and %66002% - what are they, is there a list of
all path i can see?

after i built this component (my first try creating a omponent), added it to
the DB, added it to our image, build release image and installed it on the
system, i tried to add a printer with a new driver, but it asked me for the
files. it was looking for them in the c:\windows but i found them in
c:\windows\i386 . can i set the path where its looking for these file in the
component? how is it done?

thanks in advance
 
The %66000% path is c:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86. The file ID
numbers numbers are good.

Printers drivers are a little tricky. You need to include the help files in
order for the driver to work correctly. You enable help files in the
configuration's Settings->Other.

Here is some information on MSDN about Dirids:

You need to add all help files in the configuration - this means unchecking
the "Do not copy help files for this configuration" in the Configuration's
Settings->other settings. Just enabling the components help file will not do
it.
