Okay...well, I keep asking the same question, and it seems
like I keep getting either the runaround, or know one
really knows what the problem is.

I have a HP Deskjet 660Cse printer, when I plug it into my
computer running Windows XP *Pro* RTM, it gets recognized,
then when I try to add the driver, I get an 'Operation Can
Not be Completed' Error. I try over and over to install
it, but it errors out.

Now, I am using the built in XP Pro Drivers...for some odd
reason, and on a whim, I tried to 'install' other
Deskjets, it seems like the 660C, 660Cse, and 670 Deskjet
drivers all have the Operation Could not Be Completed
error, but all other Deskjet drivers work fine.

I'm guessing that those particular drivers (for the 660
Series and 670) are corrupt...I even tried re-copying
the 'Driver.cab' file from my XP Cd.

It seems like everything I do to make it work fails.

Any insights? (Besides buying a new printer, I cannot at
this time.)

There are no drivers in the File - Server Properties -
Drivers tab...it's totally empty. I've tried *everything*
both on your site, and your friend's site beforehand, and
they still won't load.

.Hey Nick - I am exactly ticked off, frustrated as you.
Click to expand...
Everything you tried and more, I did. This might help you:
go to: support.microsoft.com
go to: Article #315325
go to: Method #3
go to: #5 - 7 (THIS RESOLVED MY PROBLEM!!)
After five days of aggravation with HP, $25.00 support,
$30.00 cable (they told me it was my cable), 5 days of
emails with HP support, I did this and it worked!!!
Every diagnostics person told me to uncheck the "detect
plug & play devices"!!!! but plug/play was never checked
to run to begin with!! I even called Dell too! Hope this
helps! good luck - roberta
