for the apple drivers:
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/DOS-Windows/Printing/LaserWriter_for_Windows_95/LW95_422.ZIP

i even tried with other hp drivers:
LaserJet 8500 PS
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/CoreRedirect.jsp?targetPage=ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/printers/software/lj835en.exe

and LaserJet 4500 PS
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/CoreRedirect.jsp?targetPage=ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/printers/software/lj477en.exe


i've uploaded the drivers from a w2k workstation client, under
"sharing", choosing "win 98". when asked for the .inf file, i've
specified the one from the packages above.

thanks for your help
