Default Can't install printer/scanner on USB

Well, thanks, but I DID read the instructions. I have
also tried doing things in different orders, just in
case. The result is the same however you do it: as soon
as the USB link is made, up comes the message "Cmdninst
has caused an error in USER.EXE". If the PSC is plugged
in and switched on when I boot the PC, I get the error
message before the login screen, and then the boot fails.
Does anybody know where that error message comes from?

You may want to examine the Installation instructions

more carefully;
some machines require you to install the drivers first,

before plugging
in the machine.

updated the BIOS and VIA drivers - no change. HP

support
has been useless. It won't install in safe mode

either.
The device manager does show power at 2mA when it's
plugged in, but that is the only sign of life. Any

ideas,
before I tear out the last of my hair?
