How to install a networkfile?

MY newly aquired HP laserjet 200 m276nw searches in scanmodus for a networkfile on my MacBook Pro on 10.5.8. With the help of the HP-forum I literally tried everything to get through. Finally HP advises me to try this forum. A specific networkfile was created and the installmentform of HP filled in with the right IP adress and name of the networkfile. Moreover, the file was marked as 'delen' (flemish for share) and under 'options', the box for the Windows link was checked. My last hope lies with you.

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.


Any devices that previously appeared in your Printer List and Fax List will need to be added again after resetting the printing system.
