The cannot find .inf file is an error indicating that windows does not
recognize the printer, due to lack of a proper driver package. Next the
380 is a multifunction printer. As a result of HP's bundling drivers and
software together, you may very well need to install the whole 400Meg or
so on any P/C that uses the printer.

In a few cases, the HP driver install package may have a custom option
that allows driver install without all the other software.

Generally, with multifunction devices, it's simpler to install the
device as a local device, perhaps using a USB port. Then when things
seem to be working, it's usually possible to redirect to a LAN port, or
a lan address that represents the P/C acting as the printer server.

HP Cannon, Epson, and Brother all do things a bit differently.
