JSI Tip 4622. Why am I prompted for the installation path of additional print drivers in Windows XP?

When you try to install print driver support for other operating systems, Windows XP issues:

Please provide a printer driver.
Type the path where the file is located, and then click OK.

Microsoft only included user-mode (version 3) print drivers for x86 platforms on the CD-ROM. The included drivers work for Windows 2000 also.

To install support for other print drivers, you must browse to the location of these drivers, on your hard disk, network drive, or other CD-ROM.
