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.
