Photosmart Premium C309
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I am unable to reinstall my Photosmart Premium C309 software on my new computer running Windows 7 Pro.

I get an error that the system does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements... USB Drivers and USB Hardware. I have tried the installation DVD and also downloading from the website.

The printer shows up under devices but not printers. I have tried restarting the computer and the printer together.

Hi,
Click the Start button and type %temp% into the search bar, then open the shown Temp folder.

Open the latest HP installation folder which begins with 7z (e.g. 7zs1234)
Open the Setup folder.
Locate the usbready.exe file and rename it into usbready.old.exe
Browse back to the main extraction folder (the folders who starts with 7z) and launch the Setup.exe file.

Now follow the installation and check for any difference.

Regards,
Shlomi
