Hi I am unable to complete an installation of an Officejet 6000 inkjet printer on a home network Dell 690 workstation running . Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit workstation. The printer had been previously connected to a Windows XP Pro 32 bit OS Dell PC. The HP CD wouldn't install the printer as it is for a 32 bit PC. I downloaded the appropriate software from HP for Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS. The installation does not complete it just goes on an on. It reaches 40 per cent. I have tried posting on the HP forum but with no response. I am wondering whether I could isolate the PC from the home network and try installing it. the reasoning being at least it will rule out network issues.

The registry of the Dell 690 refers to another Dell on the network and I suppose the other computers also refer to the older installation being on that PC.
