Troubleshooting hp printers for a long time and this is one of the issues that comes over usually, which is not printer’s defect but a minor issue of permissions for “plug and play” on your computer. I have been trying this for a long time and has been a sure shot solution.
Follow simple steps to get it installed :
- Open Task Manager and end the processes hpzdui.exe and hpzsetup.exe.
- Open registry editor. Go to run, type “regedit” and hit enter to get it explored.
- Now browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PnP .
- Make a right click on PnP and then click on permissions option to open the permissions window for ‘plug-n-play’.
- Now select each user and give full control to them, then add a user “Everyone” and give full control to it too.
- Restart computer and restart the usual installation.
