When I enter the second line of command get
Error:

Does the driver need to be in a specific location?

Sorry, but some .exe files are executables, not self-extracting archives. HP is infamous for doing just that with recent printer drivers.

Will not respond to PM requests for support -- use the forums.

I'm the only user on this laptop and the driver is on the dektop. Will I have to sort out permissions, I've been reading about it and and not quite there with that yet!
If the driver is on your desktop, than you need to change to that directory first. It also doesn't hurt to create a temp "container" directory to extract to. Open a terminal, and then do:Although, out of curiosity, I googled the driver name you have and downloaded it. When I tried to extract it with 7zip, it didn't give errors, but I also don't see any usable files, like an .inf file, sorry.Code:cd ~/Desktop mkdir driver/ mv Wireless_15.1.1_dx32.exe driver/ cd driver/ 7z e Wireless_15.1.1_dx32.exe
Sent you a PM...
