I did a freash install o widows xp, and when I plugged in my photo printer
I get "This divice has malfuntioned and windows will not reconize it'
I'm using a usb cable, and hve tried a new one and still does the same.
I'm running xp home sp2 1 gig mem, three hard drives, 6800gt nvidia

You didn't say, but HP usually wants you to load all the software /
drivers first then plug in the printer? 1) is this true per your
directions, 2) if so, did you?
 
The printer software installation stalls or stops at specific percentages and
the progress bar does not move any further when setting up the printer with a
USB connection.

The HP Photosmart Check utility looks to see if the software/driver for the
printer connected to your computer needs an update, verifies the product is set
up correctly, automatically fixes some issues if the product is not set up
correctly, and then helps update or reinstall the software if necessary.
