Help with printer

[edifyingkarma]

Ok guys, the idiot strikes again

I installed windows xp on this guy's new hard drive after it crashed and all of the devices work. He plugs in his printer and it doesnt automatically locate. I ask him if he has the disk that came with the device, and he says no. So I direct him to the HP site to get the driver,

When he gets the driver and starts to install it, It opens the add printer wizard. He then says it asks to pull a file of the Windows Xp disk, which he doesnt have.

Anyone care to elaborate as every printer ive ever had searched for a plug and play printer and located it without entering the xp disk.

It is a HP laserjet 1200

Thanks

Could be one of those idiosyncrasies of Windows where there really isn't a real answer for it.
