First let me say that I have been searching and trying solutions for about 10 days but cannot resolve the problem.
My HP P1102w printer is three years old and connected to my PC via USB cable. It isn't a shared printer. It worked properly until 10 days ago. Suspecting driver corruption, I downloaded the latest version of the driver from the HP web site. When trying to install it, I encountered this error message:
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
The printer driver in not compatible with policy enabled on your computer that blocks NT 4.0
If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support.
My PC OS is Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate. Let me know what additional information might be needed.
