I am stuck. I am trying to add a printer on my laptop (Vista) that is a shared HP 1200 pcl 6 on a network computer (XP).

I consistantly get an error when installing the generic driver I downloaded from HP. The error message is:

"Printer driver setup error. Operation could not be completed ) error 0x800f0214)"

The driver was downloaded and installed to a folder on my c-drive. I have used the "Run as Administrator" option when invoking the "Add Printer" function.

Is it the driver, or something I am doing (or not). THANKS
