Noel,
explore to Systemsettings/Printers and doubleclick on the icon "New 
Printer". Click on "Next" until you can select Local or Networkprinter, 
select yor need, depending how is the printer connected to your computer. 
When the installer ask you about finding the printer automatically select 
NO and after that select browse and do so to 
"C:\<YourWinDirectory>\system32\spool\drivers: and in that folder try each 
folder you find. I think they have numbers.

As alternative browse to the ..\spool\drivers directory with the explorer 
open each folder and rightclick on the *.inf files, select install.

Maybe that's it, but I'm not sure - I've switched to Linux. :)
