Another cry for help

[azurite]

So, until I get internet (and who knows when exactly that will be, because NTT had problems with the idea of my dorm having a phone line in each apartment room －WHICH IT DOES- and so JJ from BBapply was going to call them and get back to me. Or my roommate Midori, either way.　But she didn't hear from him yesterday, and I don't see an email in my inbox from him... NTT doesn't do appointments on weekends, so unless he gets back to me today, internet won't be happening at the start of next week (which I had hoped at the least; actually, you have to get PHONE service before you can get ADSL or whatever it is, and that might be another week AFTER I get the whole phone line set up). I might just have to go to Ishimaru and see if they have a phone adapter -not that I know if it'll help or not.

Anyway, long story short, if I want to print anything from MS Word (on my Windows VM), Windows XP seems to think I don't have any HI-SPEED USB controllers, so it SAYS it prints, but nothing ever actually comes out. I can print fine from TextEdit in OSX, but Printing is disabled in MS Word Test Drive for Mac. So I have two options...
- Get the latest USB 2.0 drivers for the Windows VM for my printer (HP Photosmart C3110 All-In-One)
- Pay $70ish for the Office Suite for Windows (I think it's that much)

Obviously, the first one is the most sensible and economical option, but herein the problem lies- the driver file I found at the HP website includes the Photosmart editing suite, which I already have. It says you can download just the drivers separately, but all my searching has come up nil in regards to JUST PLAIN DRIVERS. So say out of ease I download the whole package -well, it doesn't fit on my USB card, which is an ancient 128 MB. The driver package is something like 228 or more. I would try and email it to myself, but I don't think I can download anything to the desktop or some sort of student network drive（unlike CSUN). If I could, it would be fine.

So here I am, wailing for help again. Can someone possibly find the drivers, ZIP them up, and email them to me? If they're under 128 MB, I could transfer it straight to my USB; if not, I can borrow a friends'.

On the bright side, I am going to Mito Station (slash mall slash movie theatre slash giant place to blow all your money) later tonight to get some more fundage and simply have a good weekend- or try to, given that tomorrow is open campus and I have to wake up EARLY and then give a speech to a bunch of poor high school and junior college students about why a crazy foreigner like me wanted to come to Tokiwa so badly. Why me?

Before you go into your Windows VM, disconnect any hardware you would like to use within Windows, this includes taking out CDs currently in your drive. Devices already connected prior to the VM start up won't show up because the Mac-side will have "priority." So if you want to use anything in Windows, connect it after you start up the VM.
