can't install new printer

G

Guest

I have major problems trying to install my HP Photosmart 7760 on my system.
After a lot of wrangling, I managed to get the software installed, but the
computer will not recognize the printer. I get a Windows message that says,
"Windows could not load the installer for the Printer." When I try "Add
Printer" it says "Operation could not be completed".

I spoke with HP customer support and they say that the problem is with
Microsoft. They thought it may have something to do with the warning message
that comes up in Eventvwr that involves MsiInstaller and says "Failed to
connect to server. Error: 0x800401F0".

HELP!
