Im having probs installing a hp deskjet 656c connected via usb.

It is connected correctly (and when i unplug and replug in the usb cable, windows makes a noise).

However using the win xp driver cd i got with it, it does not detect the printer on usb. I have also tried both usb ports.

Under "Printers and Faxes" in the control pannel, when i click on "Add a printer" a critical error pops up (though its titled "Printers"), saying "Operation could not be completed".

The same printer and usb cable worked on this pc 5 months back (i uninstalled it on this computer and used it on another running win 2k).

Try unplugging the printer and installing the drivers first. Then pugging the printer in. HP usually needs the drivers installed first.
