Missing hidusb.sys

A friend of mine acquired a laptop which he wants to use to scan products with. The usb scanner (metrologic) however is refusing to work, and it appears that the driver (hidusb.sys) is missing. He doesn't currently have a XP home cd in his possession. Are these files easy to access online? Or will I have to get a cd sent…
