You say it is already installed, but I must ask if you went to the
manufacturers (the printer manufacturer) web page and downloaded the latest
driver and installed it?

The information is provided "as is", it is suggested you research for
yourself before you take any advice - you are the one ultimately
responsible for your actions/problems/solutions. Know what you are
getting into before you jump in with both feet.

Yeah I have the latest driver. Wait I just put the cable back in and this
time the message said the installation was finished. It is gone now, I must
have fixed it when i reinstalled the driver. I did not bother restarting
when I still got the message, but I restarted awhile ago for another reason.
