Check to see if the file mtxr.dll already exists in the destination.

One reason files cannot be copied during an installation is due to the
file already existing.


The only other thing I can think of is a "permissions" problem...but
that seems unlikely since all others are apparently ok

I did. There were already 2 instances of mtxr.dll and I deleted both.
Still the problem persists.

He wasn't asking about using the printer. The
problem is that the driver install wants to load
a lot of junk onto his system.



Drivers or not junk


or the software
installation fails:

1. Remove the CD from the computer's CD/DVD
drive, and then disconnect the USB cable from the
computer.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Insert the printer software CD in the computer's CD/
DVD drive, then follow the on-screen instructions to
install the printer software.


Do not connect the USB
cable until you are told to do so.


4. After the installation finishes, restart the computer.


If you are unable to print:
1. Make sure the cable connections are secure.
2. Make sure the printer is powered on. The On button will be lit white.

With the disk received with the printer in hand I never Googled for an
alternative. Thanks for the above link, I downloaded the 26 mb file
and tried to install in another XP machine. It still calls for
installing from M$ the .net files, a 65 mb download !!!

The only difference in the CD and the above files is that other
software like HP Photosmart etc are not included.

HP can only be HP

I think the 26 MB version is the one Paul is talking
about. I also downloaded it out of curiosity. I also find
no .Net-dependent files in the package. As Paul said,
you might try installing through the .inf file. You could
then run the MSI, which *I think* will give you just
the applet for managing the printer. But I don't know
whether either of those things will work.

It would probably take me many tries, to get a recipe
like that exactly right.

I think I'd try the INF install method, but after
changing the .NET setting in the last line. As
the .NET shouldn't be needed, except as a means to
support the "cruft" components.

I would also need to do more research on that "Ink Monitor"
executable. I don't know if the presence of that thing,
is a "plus" or a "minus". I do know that some inkjets
like to clean the heads a lot, as a means to pump all
the ink out of the cartridge. My own printer, I remove
power as soon as the print job is finished.

Or is there a similar HP printer that has simple drivers - if
available I do not mind throwing away this 1010
Any help will be greatly appreciated

I got the exact driver referred to by VanguardLH - it gives an option
to not install some minor things - but insists on downloading .net
from M$ - around 60 mb.
Having installed with this driver, I tried to save the bare drivers
using a driver backup program. It is just about 19 mb. One problem is
it refuses to copy the mtxr.dll file when I tried to install the
printer in another XP machine. It went ok until it said it cannot copy
the file "mtxr.dll" and does not complete the installation. The file
is very much there in the drivers I saved !
Any further thoughts on this?
Thanks to all those who responded and tried to help.
Archer


One possibility is that the driver backup program saved the file in a different directory.
If this is the case, click "Browse", find and highlight the file and click "OK".

Ben
