Failed Printer Install

Thanks for your reply!
When I tried to find any drivers in the printers and fax area there is
nothing therefor me to delete. I tried the cleanspl.exe and it prompted me
to decide if I wanted to delete the standard tcp/ip and BJ language monitor
which I didn't delete but it also asked if I wanted to delete something else
which I said yes to and some usb monitor which I said no to. Was I suposed
to delete that usb monitor too? After it finished and restarted I tried to
reinstall it like you asked and it failed again with the same error.

Ok, I did precisely as you stated and I still have the same error. By the
way, I don't have anything that's a Cannon. In the past when I actually got
this HP printer to work on this computer I installed it after a fresh install
of XP(with SP2) and before I installed my motherboard drivers. My
motherboard is an XFX 780i. Do you think the problem could originate there
or maybe somewhere around installing SP3? This isn't the first time I have
had problems with this computer. I had problems with installing .net 1.1
which prevented me from installing office 2007. I finally resorted to doing
a fresh install of XP(SP2) which fixed that but then on one of the last
updates through Windows Update it wouldn't allow that update and kept
failing. I fixed that problem by reregistering the windows update like
stated in a tutorial provided my Microsoft and it has worked fine afterwards.
Seems like new problems keep popping up in different places...
