On my XP machine, the full path is

C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\LaserJet All-in-one\hppcfg.exe

It was part of the relatively complete package of drivers that I
downloaded from HP for my HP2200D. I'd look there.

This is an exe file, so it's a program that you can put as a shortcut
on the desktop. I use it that way every time I want to make a board.

Almost got a 2605DN, but missed out on the sale, ended up with a
slightly more expensive CP1515n instead. Not doublesided but
networkable.

I'll have to see about the color toners not working, best we (HP and
I) could figure out is that the color toners are hotter for the fuser
settings, but the black toner may not be. (color sphere, etc...)
