First, if anything is reading as installed, try uninstalling it from the
Add/Remove Programs. Now download the latest drivers from the above
link and install those WITHOUT the printer connected. After the drivers
have installed, shut down the computer and connect the printer. Now boot
the computer back up and go Start-Control Panel-Printers and Faxes-Add
New Printer. Then let it look and see if it can install your printer ;)
 
it really doesn't give an error message. it just say's
cannot install.the device manager shows the printer is
working,and installed, but when i click print, the wizard
ask, which printer?, but doesn't give a selection.
thanks, Jack
 
I got it, and the driver installed. it shows up in "add
and remove" it also shows up in device manager, as working.
the print wizard, and printers and faxes, in control panel,
still doesn't know it. The print wizard ask,"which
printer"? Printers and faxes doesn't show it as installed.
thanks, Jack
 
Have you tried going to the Printers and Faxes and Add the printer? It
should show up there automatically though. Also, if it asks which
printer, it may be that you haven't chosen a printer to be the default
printer (though Windows usually picks one for you).
