Fews days back i brought a HP Deskjet 1515 printer. I use Windows XP and when i connected it to USB windows self popup comes up recognizing its a 1510 series printer. Now i installed Driver came in CD including upgrading 'dotnet 3.5' from web it reaches to step where it shows to connect printer to usb and it try to recognize it but unfortunately here Windows self hardware recognizing popup shows "an error occured, specified module cant be found" and installing driver does not recoginze it!
Now i found in "My computer" scan option is present and its working fine also, simple photocopying also working but it is not printing as Driver does not recoginze it..... what should i do PLEASE HELP!!!
 
With most USB printers you usually have to start driver installation before connecting the printer to the PC.
You only connect the printer to the PC when a prompt appears on the screen telling you to do so.
If you read the installation guide I'm fairly certain that's what it tells you to do.

So remove HP printer driver software from the PC, then try installing it as above.

I did that also.... first uninstalled driver, restarted then Installed again till it says to connect to Printer! then for 20 mins or so it keeps searching which it could not find meanwhile windows self recognising keeps popping up also I chose CD rom in popping up, it copied some files to windows then again "an error occured, specified module cant be found"!!
