Trying to install an HP printer on my laptop?

I put the installation CD in and follow all the directions, it always gets to the part that says "Installing Software" and stays on that forever. I shut my computer off and tried again but it didn't help. Is there anything i can do?

    go to the hp website and download the drivers it is so much easier sometimes the disc that comes with the printers do not like to cooperate with all laptops.

    This should fix the problem

    At times HP you will get a glitch when using the printer software and you will need to uninstall and then reinstall

    I recommend this procedure for that problem

    Add/remove and remove all components for the printer

    Now do a complete clean up with the HP level 4 driver removal utility tool

    When done, reinstall the software

    once you put in your printer you won't have made it the default printer. flow to regulate Panel > Printers and Faxes. look on your printer suitable click on it and make it the default. wdw
