Did you install the printer driver, before hooking the printer to the computer?

Have you tried downloading new drivers from HP's website

What model HP printer is it?

Yes have downloaded from HP site. Its a HP deskjet 3320 and it works fine on
another computer. Thanks for any help you have.

Ensure it's not half installed...... uninstall it first!

I'm having the same problem. Just bought an eMachines computer; had a Compaq Presario. The new computer recognized my IJ900 Compaq printer immediately. When I try to install the HP software it is unable to locate the printer. I've tried unhooking the power to the printer and starting fresh EXACTLY as the on-screen messages prompts me to. Hope someone can help us! Thank you all in advance for any assisance

You need to uninstall and reinstall first.

Change the USB cable. And ensure if you are using a USB hub, it's a powered
one, not an unpowered one.

Hi, I'm having the same problem, and I've attempted all the previous remedies
listed here. Still nothing. I've got an HP DeskJet 952C, and it works fine
with my XP-equipped with my work laptop, but not my personal Dell Dimension
8100, previously with ME. Using a parallel cable. It doesn't look like "Rick"
had any luck either. Any other things I should try?
Thanks,
Jim

After you installed XP on the Dell notebook, did you remember to install the
Dell utilities drivers.... which would include the driver for the LPT port?

 

[Guest]

The issue is with the desktop after installing XP. I didn't realize that
drivers needed to be reinstalled. There's only one drivers CD that came with
the Dell, and it doesn't appear to have anything on it about the LPT1 port.
Would this be something I would find at dell.com? Where else would I find
these drivers?

Thanks,
Jim

It will be at the Dell website.
