What does the manual for the printer suggest?

It may be necessary to allow XP to let the hardware wizard to complete.

If not, you can choose not to allow the prompt to launch again.

I'm having the same problem with my HP PSC 2355 (all-in-one printer) AND my
new HP/Apple iPod (for Windows). The instructions for both say to not plug
in device until the HP setup process instructs you to do so (so that you are
installing files before plugging in device). However, even at the
appropriate time to plug in the device and after doing so, Windows still pops
up the Add New Hardware Wizard window, and this messes up the HP installation
(for both the printer and iPod). It doesn't even make a difference whether
you click to cancel the add hardware wiz or try to run it, neither will work.
HELP!!
