i can't install my HP photosmart C4180 printer. I get up to the point where you plug in the usb cable to the computer, (printer setup)but after that it doesn't work. I think it was after step 8. i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it still doesn't work. What the hell. anyways, i would appreciate it if someone knew what to do. oh and after it didn't go through, i continued with the instillation, and i tried printing, but there was no photosmart option on the printers list. Can any one tell me how to get it on the list, while still keeping in mind that it is compltley installed except for the printer setup part, and i can't get it to setup?
basically, what do i do to set it up properly.

uninstall it ... plug in the usb cable and cancel windows trying to install it ... if u cant cancel windows then go to control panel/device manager and uninstall it ... leave the usb cable in .... then try installing the disk .. if that doesnt work go back to device manager and find the printer and rightclick it and update driver ... then direct it to the driver on the disk ... itl be in one of the folders on there ... once u get the printer driver installed then go back and install any of the extra software u need by exploring the disk or watever ....
