    So let's start at the beginning.
    Is this a USB connected printer or a wireless printer? Is it on a local network?

    If USB, did you test the ports?

    Hi Shaya. Because that message seems to be due to an issue with the operating system - as evidenced by Renisis' solution - I'm going to recommend that you start a new post in the DRIVERS Forum here.

    Just post the facts above (wired printer, etc., along with an explanation that the error occurs when trying to install the driver, and write out the error message in detail.

    Each of us in this forum brings certain unique experience and expertise in one or more areas, but no one here is an expert at everything. The people who 'hang out' in the Drivers Forum like that kind of stuff.

    Over here in the Hardware Forum you get tech geeks like me. If it can't be fixed with a screwdriver or solder gun then we are lost!

    Thanks for the pointer to the CCleaner debate TVeblen and for the rest of your input. Since my "new" system is in its infancy I'll feedback any unusual happenings as and when!

    Shaya, hope all goes well.

    Can you print from notepad, paint etc? Or is it a general printing problem?
    first uninstall all printer drivers!! If failing... do it as admin. Or clean boot
