Hello,

You should install the printer drivers first before connecting to your computer.

If it came with a CD, use the CD and follow the on screen instructions, then plug in the printer.

that does not work
Try installing on a different computer. You may have a problem with your USB ports or the printer may have an issue.
i am getting the same error
On a different computer?  The printer must have a hardware problem in this case.
The first link below is for the Microsoft Fix it Tool. If you run this tool for Windows 7 it will automatically search your system and attempt to fix any errors it encounters.

The second link here is all drivers and documentation for your printer model as it pertains to Windows 7 64 bit computers. It is a very common problem with Windows 7 to have USB printer spooling issues. Make sure you have checked for any Windows updates and installed all service pack updates.
