Can't install HP PSC1610 printer

Hi

I'm trying to install my HP PSC 1610 all-in-one printer (scanner and
printer) on my Vista build 3508.
I've tried several things:
- Setup with my user's rights: cannot install, I need Administrator
rights.
- "Run as Administrator" to launch the setup: setup fails, it doesn't
accept the "Run As" (that's what the setup program says).
- Safe Mode, so I really am Administrator, then launch the setup: I
can't, as in Safe Mode, the screen resolution is 640x480, and the setup
requires 800x600, and I cannot set the screen resolution to 800x600 or
more in safe mode.
- Install the drivers without using the setup: the printer is
"installed", but every print try fails.
- I've tried adding a reg key seen in
microsoft.public.windows.vista.security to unhide the Administrator
account to be able to log in with it in "normal mode" (I mean, not the
safe mode), but it didn't work, I can't see the Administrator account
in the logon screen.
So I am still not able to use my printer with Vista. Did someone got
the same problem and found a workaround? And it seems there is no Vista
drivers for my printer on HP website.
Thank you for your help

Christophe
