Problem Possible cause Solution
When I connected the printer
to my computer, the Found
New Hardware Wizard
opened but did not recognize
the printer. You connected the printer to
your computer before inserting
the HP Photosmart CD.
1 Disconnect the USB cable from the
printer and close the Found New
Hardware Wizard.
2 Insert the HP Photosmart CD that came
with your printer. When the Install

drive.
5 Select the Uninstaller.bat file and click
Open.

restarts, remove the HP Photosmart CD
and follow the setup instructions in the
HP Photosmart Setup Guide that came
with your printer.
During installation, the system
requirements dialog box
appears, indicating that my

resolution does not meet the
minimum system requirements. Your monitor’s display
resolution is set below
minimum system requirements.
