This would seem to be a problem with the printer co-installer.

If so, the solution lies outside your hands.

000005B3: ERROR_REQUIRES_INTERACTIVE_WINDOWSTATION
Issue:
The driver installation requires an interactive window due to issues
such
as the co installer about to show some user interfaces like a dialog
box.
This failure generates the following entries in the Setupapi.dev.log
file.
dvi: {DIF_INSTALLDEVICE} 11:02:29.804
dvi: CoInstaller 1: Enter 11:02:29.804
!!! dvi: CoInstaller 1: failed(0x000005b3)!
!!! dvi: Error 1459: This operation requires an interactive
window station.

ump: {Plug and Play Service: Device Install exit(000005b3)}
Solution:
Solve the root cause problem that requires an interactive window
station.
(The problem might be an I/O problem, a File Access denied problem, and
so
on.) Co installers cannot require an interactive window station
outside a
finish-install action or finish-install page. Ensure that the co
installer
uses a finish-install action or a finish-install page to show UI.

Perhaps Alan has a suggestion for a work-around.

Yes. I tried to install the driver with 'File' as the connection point
and
got 'Printer driver was not installed. Operation could not be
completed
(error 0x000005b3).'
:
OK but elect to install a local printer anyway. Select 'File' as the
connection. Is the printer listed?

OK.
When I click 'Add Printer" I get 2 options. 1. "Add a local
printer.
Use
this option only if you don't have a USB printer. Windows
automatically
installs USB printers when you plug them in." (Guess what? It
didn't)
And
2. Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer. (I'm not)
:
When you run Add Printer manually are all the manufactures and
models
listed?

I connected my computer (Vista) to my printer. Was asked for
permission
which is another problem. Was not given permission even though
I'm
the
user
(like I said another problem). Was directed to go to the mfg
site
(HP).
HP
says windows has the driver. Now windows does not even
recognize
that
there's a printer plugged unto the USB port.
