Hp Install A Fatal Error Occurred Preventing Product User

Objective: Get scanning to work with a Hewlett Packard MFP M276nw, connected via USB to a Windows 7 x64 system. What I did, step by step: • Uninstall printer driver from Device Manager. • Uninstall HP software from Control Panel Programs Programs and Features. • Manually run HP driver uninstaller: C: Users Felix AppData Local Temp 7zS5163 Uninstall.exe • Unplug the device from USB.

Wrote: Most likely it's the HP software - it's trying to do something with the USB port and the installation is failing. Maybe a conflict with some previous software. A fatal error occurred preventing product use, LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw When trying to install the full printer software suite, as soon as I click the button.

Now, something possibly goes wrong already: Windows 7 picks up driver installation in parallel. • Wait until the setup tool finishes, unfortunately with an error message: 'An install operation took too long to execute. This is a fatal error preventing product use.

Please restart your computer, and run this installer again. If the problem persists, please check the product support web site for your product.' The shows details about the error message, but I don't know what to look for. The Windows driver installation log file C: Windows inf setupapi.dev.log looks fine, no error messages. What can I try to solve the problem? See also in the HP support forums.

Just followed the procedure again, but with an additional step 1a: Uninstall printer from Control Panel Hardware and Sound Devices and Printers Prior to that, I ran the, but that only showed which devices are installed. I doubt that it fixed anything. Anyhow, this time installation worked, although again I had to wait a long time for the setup tool to finish. Possibly it's a timing issue. No TWAIN interface seems to have been installed for the MFP. Possibly that requires the full setup with the HP scan software. However, I can now scan with VueScan, which did not work before.
