How can i set up printer sharing connection in my office? i dont have printer driver cd. It got misplaced.?

am Network administrator in a research department and office. we are using HP deskjet 990cse and 970cse printers. tese are shared by many people in office. Unfortunately we lost connection from other computers except with the main computer to which it is connected. And in addition to this, the printer driver cd got misplaced.So my questions are: 1. how can I setup the sharing connection again?2. Can't we get the free software downloaded from any website?3. What all steps I need to follow in order to solve this problem?

1. go and auto detect printers by going to view network addapters and clik on the printer if not go and enter it on the web to download a copy
2. In the main computer where the printer is installed, just go to the Printer folder inside of Control Panel. Right click your All in one printer and then Click Sharing. Click on Share this printer in the window that opens and then hit OK. Get the IP address of your computer, go to Start, Run, type "cmd" enter, type "ipconfig" enter. Write down where it says "Local Area Connection" IP address: "numbers with dots". After this, move to the computer without a printer. In the other computer, go to Start, Run, type "\\ipaddress\" where ipaddress are the numbers of the 1st computer. When a windows opens asking for a user name and password input those credentials from your computer. If it doesn't ask it will be even better. Now with this command you will open a folder and the printer will be there. Double click the printer and now the 2nd computer will be able to use it. BTW, both computers have to be in the same WORKGROUP. to check this: Right click My Computer icon on the desktop, go to properties, Computer name tab. There you can see the WORKGROUP name and even change it. Or Call HP ..1 8004746836
