Method/steps

If you have failed to install the printer driver, please uninstall it first and restart the system. Be sure to unplug the USB data cable from the printer, and then plug in the USB data cable when prompted to connect to the printer! Confirm whether the Print Spooler service is turned on.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Start menu - Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services, find the "Print Spooler" item in the service, and check whether its status is "Started".

2. If it is not started, right-click on this item, select Properties, change the startup type to "Automatic", and click the startup button under the service status to start it.

3. Download and install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (if it has been installed before, please download and install it again).

4. Please restart the computer after the installation or repair is completed.

5. Without connecting the USB data cable of the printer, turn on the power switch of the printer and let it start up first. Use the startup time to proceed to the next step of installing the driver.

6. Run the official driver software, enter the second step, and when the "Continue" button appears, you can connect the printer USB data cable. Note: Do not click the "Continue" button at this step.

7. Wait for the printer to start up. After the printer connection prompt appears during the driver installation process, connect the printer USB data cable to the computer.

8. After connecting the data cable, the system will automatically recognize the printer and pop up the "Found New Hardware Wizard" dialog box. Do not operate this dialog box for the time being. Drag it aside for later use.

9. Click the "Continue" button in the second step of the driver.

10. The installation program will start USB connection at this time, please wait patiently for 3 to 5 minutes.

11. If the installation program remains in the USB connection state after waiting in the previous step, the "Found New Hardware Wizard" dialog box that was previously retained will come into play at this time.

12. Select to install from the list or specified location, and then click Next to install step by step.

13. There should be no problems at this step. Just install the universal serial bus controller printer driver in sequence and it will be OK. After the new hardware is successfully added, the installation program will automatically perform subsequent installations.

The above is the solution to the problem that the specified module cannot be found when installing the printer driver under WinXP system. After following the above steps, the printer driver can be installed normally.
