Caution! The printer's USB cable must be unplugged before proceeding!

Download the driver to the newly created c:\dj5700 folder.
Open the c:\dj5700 folder and double-click the downloaded "exe" file to extract the driver files.
Note: The driver file extraction process will create a series of folders under the c:\dj5700 folder that you downloaded the driver file into. Under the "C:\dj5700\5700" folder, a three letter language folder will be displayed which corresponds with the driver language that you downloaded. For example, the English driver (5700_enu_win2k_xpinfu.exe) contains a folder named "enu". This folder was created during the extraction process after double-clicking on the downloaded "exe" file.

Click "Browse" and go to the folder "c:\dj5700\5700\enu\drivers\Win2k_xp". A file, with a filename similar to "hpf5700k.inf", will be displayed. Select the file name and click "Open".
Click "OK" to continue. "hp deskjet 5700 series" will now be found in the Printers column. Click "Next".
Note: If another 5700 Series driver is already installed on this PC, you will be shown a window asking you to decide if you want to keep or replace the existing driver. Make your selection and click "Next"
Click "Next" to accept the default printer name (suggested), or rename the printer and click "Next".
Select "Yes" or "No" to print a test page and click "Next".
To complete the installation process, click "Finish". The printer driver files will now be installed and the hp deskjet 5700 series icon will be added to the "Printers" folder.
