I do not know where that executable put the extracted files nor do I have any answers to your other questions. I wish I did. I am sure I could take care of this in a matter of minutes if I was at your house, but that does not help you because obviously I am not there. Google maybe able to help you answer those questions or maybe someone on this list with familiarity would be available to help you out better. This is not a specific issue with hp, but a general question about sharing a printer on a linux machine with a windows machine. You have 95% of the pieces.
