Is it a windows computer? What OS, XP vista? Easiest way to do it is plug the printer directly into your computer and set it up as local. Then when you get it working, you can try to set it up on the network since you'd have the driver on your computer.
that worked i was just reallytrying to avoid doing it cause it was a huge pain and my arm is broken, i even searched through the other computers system files to get the drivers but its all done now thanks
Plug the printer directly into the Windows 7 computer. It will either have its own driver and work when you add the printer, or you can do a windows update while connected and it should find it.
EDIT---your post beat me by a few minutes, glad you have it sorted.
