Hp 1018 intallation problem

[Guest]

When I plug the printer I my compter I have a message like USB periphical non
reconize" something like that. Before I installed the driver with de Hp's CD.
I contact HP for the problem and they sugest me to install manually the
priter drivers. I did that but my printer still not work. I think is a
software conflict.

I installed this printer on my laptop (with the same windows version ) and
it work great.

My computer is new an i have Windows XP home French edition.

Can you help me

Remove the printer driver and all software for the printer. Best to
disconnect the printer and restart windows. With the printer still
unplugged, install the printer driver software according to the
instructions. When the instructions indicate, plug the printer into the
USB port and follow the on-screen instructions.

The HP LaserJet 1018 seems to need a very high quality USB cable when
connected to a USB2 port.
Look for a short thick cable that's screened.

Using a USB1 port is apparently one way to make it work. However I have no
information on how well it works on a USB1 port.

Also you should download the latest drivers from the HP web site and use
those rather than the ones on the CD that came with the printer.
