3100cn driver to download?

I need to install the drivers for my Dell 3100cn color laser on a new computer system (installed as a network printer) and I've misplaced the CD that came with it. I've downloaded a driver package for it, but can't figure out how to use that to install it as a network printer (there's no setup.exe included though the instructions seem to indicate there should be). Can someone please help?
 
Thanks.

    I don't believe the drivers come with a setup program. What you'll need to do is run the exe to decompress the files taking care to remember where on your hard drive you copied them to. Then use the "Add printer wizard" to add the printer. It will prompt you for the disk. Choose "have disk" and point the wizard to the directory where you copied the driver files.

    When I tried this the files are unzipped into the default directory but they are not expanded. The dll files are still named dlxbrziu.dl_.

    Even after using the 'expand' command the Add Printer wizard will not take the driver.
