My Laptop suddenly will not recognize that I have a printer.

I have performed the following options:
1. verified that the printer and printer cable is not the problem.
2. verified that the USB port is not the problem.
3. removed the printer setup from computer.
When I went to reinstall the printer, the computer would not recognize that a printer was present even when I proceed to use the printer's installation CD.

Does anybody have any ideas what to do?
