When XP starts up windows installer attempts to install PSPrinters08.
When starting windows on a laptop, I get a windows installer box that is attempting to install PSPrinters08. Upon hitting cancel this install pops up about 8 or 9 more times. I then receive an error saying "Error 1706, No valid source could be found" I have never seen this before and am very confused over it. Any help would be appreciated.
Uninstall any application related to HP Printing.
If that doesn't do the trick,
you can DL the Windows Installer Clean up utility.

Hi... try this
Go to ADD/REMOVE Programs and Remove "HP deskjet printer preload"
That will solve it
Good luck

I would be careful about uninstalling 'any' HP application - there may be existing HP apps/printers that are properly installed.
If this is a network environment, an Administrator may have added a networked printer somewhere and forgot to tell anyone (never happen, right?).
If this is stand-alone, the "Plug & Play" function of XP will attempt to automatically install any printer that has been connected - and HP's will very often burp when you try to do that (great printers, but the install process can wear you out).

I tried to remove the HP deskjet printer preload already and that didn't seem to work. The laptop is not on a network, but we do use one printer for about 4 laptops. What we do is install the drivers on each laptop, and when they need to print they connect to the printer via USB. When they arn't printing it isn't connected.
Billy,
Did you load the "Drivers ONLY" - or did you load the whole HP Solution Center application?

I can't really remember too well. I think i probably just loaded the drivers only.

Hey Billy,
Thank you for closing this out - but would you identify which of my suggestions in that post worked?
When appropriate you can 'split points' among multiple Experts to recognize more than one solution.
Thanks again,

Check your 'Control Panel' --> 'Scheduled Tasks' and see if there is something in there about this install.
If so, you can just delete it.
