Hi JMMT23,

Are you using the smart install option by plugging in the USB cable to initiate the install or CD?

Install the software with HP Smart Install

1. Press the Power button ( ) or switch to turn off the product, if it is not off already.
2. Disconnect the USB cable from both the product and the computer, if you already connected it.
3. Press the Power button or switch to turn on the product.
4. Reconnect the USB cable to the product and to the computer.
   The HP Smart Install program should start automatically. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.
   If the HP Smart Install program does not start automatically, AutoPlay might be disabled on the computer. Follow these steps to start the installation:
   Click the Windows icon ( ), click My Computer , double-click the HP Smart Install CD icon, and then double-click the SISetup.EXE file.
5. If the program prompts you to select a connection type, select the USB cable option.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish installing the software.

Follow the steps in the document at the link.

Thanks pcwizard,

I was using the cd setup, but when I tried the smart installed it worked with the usb cable. Now I just need to setup the wireless one.

Thanks again

Hi JMMT23,

You can also use the smart install to set the printer up wirelessly. When you get to the connection type screen just chose network. The network information will be transferred to the printer and it will then ask you to remove the USB cable. Let me know if you need any additional assistance.

Same problem with Win 7 OS.  .  I've tried this solution recommended by HP but the problem persists.  Tried the CD and the Software on HP website.  Tried to install on 2nd device with Win 7 also took too long.  The IT dept at work tried same problem.  Tried installing in device with Win XP and no problme.  The underlying factor is Win 7.  Any suggestions?

The solution proposed does not work ... This appears to be a problem in Win 7
