More info?)
I am having this same problem only the driver seems to appear but is not digitally signed.. plus there is one for officejet t series fax and one for printer. I dont know why it is not working when I chose these but I am thinking its because they are not digitally signed and have yet to find the correct drivers for my deskjet T45 that are signed. Yes I downloaded them from the Hp site but that doesn't seem to matter.
