MsiInstaller error 1015 - failed to connect to the server

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I have found that often you need to wait and be prompted during the printer
setup to connect the usb cable or wait until you get an error message to
plug in the usb cable.
Take a look at these;

Try a different usb cable. Make sure the cable is snug in the
connections at both ends. Make sure the printer is turned on before you
connect it.
