Setting up a shared printer not in Add Printer Wizard

I am trying to set up a Windows ME desktop so that it can use an HP Officejet 6110 printer installed on another machine. The Add Printer Wizard lists only an Officejet and an Officejet LX - selecting either of these allows prints to be made but only in Black-and-White, with the printed test page stating that colour is not supported. I have tried the "Have disk" option in the wizard and, after inserting the HP 6110 disk, can find a number of files of the form *.inf. However, every one of these results in the error message that the selected file has no information about the hardware. I have also tried downloading a set of driver files and this gets exactly the same results (ie. the selected file contains no information about the hardware). Any suggestions as to how to set up the ME machine?
