These dialogs occur even when browsing to the correct location on the HP Color LaserJet 2605
series CD. [cd-rom drive]:\Drivers\Win98_Me\[Language]. The installation of "Additional Drivers"
fails.
Cause: The issue occurs because the driver files are compressed in a .cab (cabinet) file on the
HP Color LaserJet 2605 CD.
Solution: The driver files must be extracted from the .cab file to the hard drive. Next the
appropriate .inf (setup information) file must be copied to the same location as the extracted files.
Then the "Additional Drivers" can be installed".
The steps below describe how to open the .cab file for the English driver and extract them to the
hard drive when no additional software tool for extracting is installed (e.g. WinZip or other file
extraction software). The final steps describe which .inf file must be copied to the same location
as the extracted files.
1. Use Windows Explorer to browse to [cd-rom drive]:\Drivers\Win98_Me\English.
2. If installing the PCL6 driver, double click the P6enww9X.cab file. If installing the postscript
driver double click the Psenww9X.cab file.
3. Select or highlight all of the files listed.
4. Right click on the highlighted files and choose "Extract" from the menu that appears.
5. Select a destination to send the extracted files to, and then click "Extract" (remember this
location).
6. The files are extracted to the location.
