I have an HP plotter in my room which currently only prints from my 32 bit Win 7 laptop by USB.

I downloaded the drivers from the HP website to re-install it on my Desktop and it doesn't seem to work anymore!

I've had it working correctly on Win 7 64bit on another laptop setup to print over the network earlier in the year, it's currently working on Win 7 32 bit by USB.

However no matter what I do I can't seem to get it to work on clean installs of Windows 7 64 or 32 bit by network or USB now!

I don't know if the drivers have changed or what, but I really want to back up the driver I have currently working on the 32 bit Win 7 laptop install. Any advice please?
 
Yes mate, it's a problem that's been bugging me all summer but I've only really got around to actioning on it as I really need to start printing from my powerful PC for large banners.
Windows correctly recognises what the printer is, but then says it can't find the driver for it and a gives a code name for the printer C7770C that I'm not familiar with. It's not a standard printer, but a large plotter like this. When I used the official downloaded drivers and point windows towards them I now get errors when I attempt to print.

What's so frustrating is that it installed fine over the network and by USB earlier in the year! I'll pop a post up on the HP support forums later in the week but was hoping to figure out a way to back up my current working driver.
