I've had the same problem. I never could get the printer to work and it
disabled my PC. I had to uninstall the printer drivers and restore my
computer.

Mine installed problem-free the first time, and is still going strong.

Mine installed perfectly to both Vista Ultimate and Vista Home Premium, as

printer.
