Failed Printer Install
I have been trying to get my printer to install but it has failed many times.
I have followed the instructions given with the driver disk and I have also plugged it in and let windows find and try to instal the driver automatically as well as installing the printer manually through the printer wizard. Each time I tried I got the same error. a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/estengineer/FTIR/photo?authkey=WeJMu64fbiw#5235170087766785858"im g src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/estengineer/SKcPdSwW_0I/AAAAAAAAARw/rAlRA0Y1eUc/s800/Printer%20Fail.jpg" //a I have noticed that this problem has occured in the past with me and I had to reinstall win xp and install the printer at the very beginning cause when win xp is fully updated I encounter the printer error. I am running Windows XP SP3 No viruses, spyware, or other malware has been found The printer is a HP Deskjet 3650 If anyother information is needed, just ask. |

Blitz all traces of printer drivers as per:
http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm Download a new set of driver software from: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...o duct=304535 Install the software and do NOT connect the printer to the PC until it tells you to do so. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "estengineer" wrote in message ...

Failed Printer Install
Thanks for your reply!
When I tried to find any drivers in the printers and fax area there is nothing therefor me to delete. I tried the cleanspl.exe and it prompted me to decide if I wanted to delete the standard tcp/ip and BJ language monitor which I didn't delete but it also asked if I wanted to delete something else which I said yes to and some usb monitor which I said no to. Was I suposed to delete that usb monitor too? After it finished and restarted I tried to reinstall it like you asked and it failed again with the same error.

Failed Printer Install
Ok, I did precisely as you stated and I still have the same error. By the
way, I don't have anything that's a Cannon. In the past when I actually got this HP printer to work on this computer I installed it after a fresh install of XP(with SP2) and before I installed my motherboard drivers. My motherboard is an XFX 780i. Do you think the problem could originate there or maybe somewhere around installing SP3? This isn't the first time I have had problems with this computer. I had problems with installing .net 1.1 which prevented me from installing office 2007. I finally resorted to doing a fresh install of XP(SP2) which fixed that but then on one of the last updates through Windows Update it wouldn't allow that update and kept failing. I fixed that problem by reregistering the windows update like stated in a tutorial provided my Microsoft and it has worked fine afterwards. Seems like new problems keep popping up in different places... "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote: BJ would indicate to me that you once had a Canon installed so yes, you do want to delete everything. On reboot, the USB ports should be reinstalled automatically. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "estengineer" wrote in message ... Thanks for your reply!
