How to Extract the INF File from an Executable Printer Driver File

If you are manually installing your printer and get to the section where it asks for the printer driver and you choose the Have Disk option, you will then need to specify the location of your .inf file to continue the installation. If you have the typical HP driver .exe file then you will not be able to choose this file during the manual installation but will rather have to use it to do a full software installation which might not be what you want. Fortunately, you can use the free 7-Zip software to exact the exe file to get your INF files. Here is a link to download the software.
