no windows 7 support for your printer...no problem!

I just recently tried to share an HP laserjet 3500 and of course there was no windows 7 support and will be none in the future.

I found out through trial and many errors that when you are sharing it as long as the computer you have in plugged into has support you can still share it by using a vista inf file for the driver.

just thought i would post in case someone else has the same or similar problem.
