I have an hp officejet d125xi and i was running it on my
old computer fine. it connects through usb. when i plug
it in 2 the usb port it says unknown device--
malfunctioned or something like that with a little yellow
popup thing in the lower right hand corner. I know my usb
port is working. What is wrong and how can i fix it. I
have continually reinstalled the drivers. Thank you

Did you uninstall the printer before reinstalling it?

Did you then reinstall the software BEFORE connecting the printer to the PC?

At this point, disconnect the printer from the PC and blitz all the drivers
as per Bruce Sanderson's article at:
