You are trying to install the HP software, which probably won’t install on the server. All you need is the driver. The driver will be on the CD though, look around the various folders, you should find it. The software is nothing more then bloat ware. If you want to scan and such, then you need the software and you are out of luck.
I do find it ridiculous that software looks for a specific OS. Companies like Sun and IBM sell workstations that run the same exact OS as the big iron brothers. This allows software to be run on a cheaper and smaller hardware during the development and testing stages before being moved. The PC world has a long way to go.
