Laserjet Pro M102W not installing properly

[GAB-GWEN]

I was installing my new Laserjet pro M102W and had a trouble.

Software was installed properly using the CD that the printer arrived with.

But when I connected the printer as specified in the procedure, an error occured.

 "Cannot Install Hardware

   There was a problem installing this hardware:

            HPHP LaserJet M101-M106

   An error occured during the installation of the device

   The system cannot find the file specified."

I already tried to restart the pinter and PC but nothing works.

Can you help me out?

Welcome to the HP Forums. I would be happy to help you with your HP LaserJet Pro M102w printer. I understand that you are unable setup the printer and you have already done some preliminary troubleshooting. I would like to help you resolve this issue. 

However, I will need a few details to provide an accurate solution,

• Which operating system is installed on the computer?
• How is the printer connected to the computer, USB or wireless?

Reply with the result of the above-mentioned steps, for further assistance.

Cheers.
