Hi:
I purchased 'HP Photosmart 3300 series All-in-One,' and spent almost 7 - 8
hours for software
installation, one for whole afternoon and other for whole morning, the next
day.
During software installation, there were a number of error messages
flashing across the screen.
It was almost 'nightmarish' experience which I never experienced before, not
once. When I went
to the HP Support Site, there is a fine-print, ... 'file is missing,
particularly for 'scan part' that
seems causing a problem. For that, I also read HP, MS, or both still
working on this issue,
a 'missing file' that causeing this installation problem.
In my case, after a number of tries, error messages went to the HP Support
and eventually
I completed installation. However, Networking which I want to make 'sharing
printer' with two
computers, I still keep struggling. Because, in order to 'share' printers
between two computers, I need to
'configuration' on setting which I truly hesitate to do due to my ISP,
'High-Speed-Internet.' I can NOT afford
to lose this connection.
Hopefully, HP soon taking action to fix this problem, soon.

Yes there is some issue installing some HP software on Media Center. I was
told this is an issue with a product check by the HP installation package.
I forwarded this information to an HP print driver developer who is based at
MS and he forwarded the information to HP. I have asked for some
clarification on any response from HP.
Did the installer post any error message or is there any application or
system event error around this software installation?

Same scenario here. I had an HP all-in-one that worked
perfectly on my old machine. I bought a new top of the line HP
computer with XP Media Center and the printer will not work.
Been working on this for over a week with HP tech support by
email. They finally referred me to the 800 number, but they
want to charge me for their time. Imagine, you download the
latest HP software to install on the lastest HP computer, it
doesn't install and they want to charge you. I'm ticked.
Hope you have better luck!
