This is direct from the HP website. some files were renamed... it works!
ISSUE:
During the LaserJet P2015 Series USB installation, the following error message is displayed:
'hpc20155.xml' on HP LaserJet P2015 Series CD is needed
SOLUTION:
The HP LaserJet P2015 EWS driver on Microsoft Windows Update and Windows Market Place Web sites is newer than the driver that is included on the product CD that shipped with the printer. Because of this. the Microsoft Windows (Found New Hardware Wizard) will install the driver from the web. Some file names are inconsistent between driver version 1.0.0.12 and version 1.0.0.10, including the
hpc20155.xml file, hence the attempt for the driver to search for the
hpc20155.xml file will fail, and prompts the error message.
To resolve this issue perform the following:
-
Click the Browse button on the error message.
-
Browse through the CD to Drivers -> windows 2000_XP .
-
Select the file hppcp504.cab , and click OK .
-
The error message "The Software that you are trying to install has not passed the windows Logo Test " appears. Click Continue Anyway .
-
If the error message "hpc20155.xml on HP LaserJet P2015 Series CD is needed " appears again, follow steps 1-3.
-
The required files are copied, and the driver is installed and ready to use.
If the issue still persists then perform the following in the order listed before trying to reinstall the software.
-
Go to Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Windows Update.
-
Set the option to Never search Windows Update for drivers .
NOTE:
It is important to re-enable the Windows Update function after installing the printer software, otherwise the updates for all the other software on this computer will be blocked.
After disabling Windows Update, complete the following steps. Be sure to reenable Windows update after installing the software:
-
Disconnect the USB cable and remove the device listing from Device Manager
-
Go to Start ->All programs ->HP ->P2015 ->Uninstall , "OR" Go to Add & Remove and check for the P2015 and uninstall .
-
Then go to Printer & Faxes . Select the HP LJ P2015 icon and press the Delete button on the keyboard. After deleting the printer icon, go to File and Server properties . Go to Drivers tab and remove any P2015 drivers if listed.
-
Also delete the following files/ folders C:\program files\HP\toolbox Fx or P2015 C:\documents & settings\app data\tool box Fx
-
Run the scrubber.exe . Find this on the cd X:\utils\ccc\scrubber.exe & scrubber.ini
NOTE:
The Scrubber utility can also be downloaded from the web if the original installation CD is not available. However, it is only available as part of the full software installation package named hp_LJ_P2015_Full_Solution_AMWE.exe on hp.com . Once the files are extracted to a folder just open the util folder then the ccc folder and the scrubber.exe file will be visible.
-
Paste these files at the following path and run the scrubber.exe
C:\windows\system32\
-
Empty the recycle bin
-
Turn the printer back on.
-
Now install the printer software again. Connect the communication cable to the PC and printer when prompted during the installation.
