When I try to install my printer (HP Photosmart C4180) on my new Unattended Windows XP the port USB doesn't regcognize the printer. I use the original Drivers. I try everything: Automatic all the services, try other drivers of the HP Web but nothing. The USB cable is new.

My new Windows was make with nlite 1.3.04

What can I do to my PC recognize my Printer?

i've run into this problem before, and its not usually the OS, try going into BIOS and going through the menus and looking for Plug N Play Aware OS, sometimes its called USB Enable....something like that may be disabled, you can try that, thats the only reason i can think of that that computer wouldn't be recognizing the printer.

have you tried other USB devices, or is the printer the only one?

Did you select IEEE 1284.4 devices (Dot4) in Hardware support?

No, I didn't, but I think I didn't remove nothing about the printers. I'll make a new Windows and reinstall everytring and tell you what happen. Thanks a lot :}
