I run Vista home Premium on a HP pavilion laptop. I use to just connect my HP printer and it automatically loads the hardware. No CD needed. And i was able to print. Now i plug in my printer and i get nothing at all. It does not even recognize it being there. im lost. And need a printer asap. I tryed installing it trough the CD and i keep getting user errors. that i dont have permission to do so. I also have AUPD.EXE malware on my comp. I think it might have something to do with it .But i cant figure out how to ditch AUPD eaither.

This might sound silly but try plugging the printer into another usb port. Or if it has it, the LPT1
