"It appears that the problem is that the printer is not being identified as
what it's full description is, only as a USB printer and then when it looks for
an entry in the inf file it can't find it."

This is usually symptomatic of a faulty installation CD, i.e. one which does not
properly take into account the software or maybe hardware conditions found on
your computer.

Faulty printer and scanner software installs are an absolute plague in this
industry... Ben Myers
