install HP all-in-one to classic on i-mac

I've got OS9 running from the system pref pane but I don't know how to install without clicking in the installer icon and going into OSX again. I tried the print share idea too - no luck... thanks anyway

With Classic running, click the installer and see if it takes in Classic.

thanks, but no luck yet. Just don't get the OS9 menu without a program running , even starting up from system prefs. Tried the print share option too...

oops sorry bobw, thought my post before last didn't register then after I posted it again I found it on page 2! To your last post - no , clicking on the installer doesn't have any effect in classic - keep just getting the same error msg as detailed earlier

I downloaded that installer. It looks like it's just for OS X.

even though it says for OS9! thanks for trying

Once you get to the point where you see the installer (all that other double clicking is decompressing the file and mounting it as a disk), can you scroll around the window at all and actually see the file? It is likely they just use the installer to put a couple of files in the correct locations. They try to hide the files by having them be off screen or hidden behind other icons like the installer program itself. If you can ever just find the file alone, then we can manually put them in the correct places and skip the installer.

Hi Cam, I've just started from scratch - downloaded the driver again. The file decompressed and mounted as a file automatically and opened in a finder window to reveal the installer icon. Nothing lurking behind it at all though - I've had a good look. Still get error msg if try to install from here.
