HP printer wont connect with HP Computer using Windows XP

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance


I just got a new HP Computer with windows XP and i cannot get it to
connect with my HP LaserJet 2420 PCL 6 printer on our USB network that
is also connected computer with Windows XP. 4 other computers in the
office have been connecting to this printer just fine.

I can see the printer on the network but when i try to connect or share
the error message i get say: "The HP laserJet 2420 printer driver is not
installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be
accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install
the driver?"

I tried installing the printer driver with the CD it came with and this
did not solve the problem. I also downloaded the drive updates from the
HP website and this did not work also.

When i try to add a new printer and use creat a new local port option
and time in \\computer name\printer name, when it is finished with the
Add Printer Wizard and try to print a test page it says: "Unable to
install printer. Some driver files are missing or incorrect. Reinstall
the driver or try using the lastest version."

I have tried to fix this problem with HP tech support to no avail.
Please help. thank you.
