I can't install the software for my HP Photosmart C4680 on my new HP laptop by downloading it from the website. I receive a message that USB soft- and hardware assistance is lacking. This is strange as all USB devices are working on my laptop.

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.
