Printer won't install

I don't get a checkbox to bypass the usb connection during installation and I am running XP Media Center Edition 2005. Another twist, I hooked it up to my daughter's computer to determine whether its a computer problem or a printer problem and it installed flawlessly. In the Device Manager, it is supposed to show up under the USB area as a USB Composite Device, which it does on my daughter's computer, but not mine. I have uninstalled and reinstalled at least 6 times. Kodak gave me a clear program utility to rid the sustem of all Kodak files to insure a clean install, but no different result. I was also walked through the system registry and deleted ALL registry keys with Kodak attached (over 300 to be exact) and the reinstall still stops when it asks to plug the printer into the usb port, it almost like it doesn't detect it from the usb. I have plugged it into different ports which I have been using to insure the port is good, but no luck. (Do you see a pattern here???) The supplies are so cheap and the photo quality is great (I printed a quick picture when the printer was hooked to my daughter's computer!). So, hopefully I am missing something simple so I can get this baby printing!!
Thank you for your help.
