I have an HP340 monochrome that I want to connect to Windows XP Home. When I
use the driver from the wizartd, after I press "finish", it begins
installing, then aborts, and says "Printer drivers was not installed.
Operation could not be completed". Can anyone help me?

Is the print spooler running?

(From the Command Prompt, type: net start spooler and hit enter.

I have tried to look for the settings, but I am unable to locate where this
is. There is just one user on my pc, and I was under the impression that I
was the administrator, as well. Perhaps I was wrong? Where do I find the
"Computer Configuration"? I really appreciate the help.
