Install driver without printer?

I need to install the PSC 2410 driver on a company laptop. The printer is the employee's property, located at her home. Unlike every other printer installer I've used, this one demands the printer be attached for installation/configuration to finish. I clicked "Skip", hoping the employee could just attach the printer and go, but she's being prompted for our administrator password. Is there any trick to installing the driver completely without the printer attached? Why do companies write software like this? :-(

Most softwares have a custom installation mode you should be able to enter into at the front screen, allowing custom installation (and allowing username changes). If it is a lap top, why can't you install it using network connectivity, in explorer settings, allowing you to connect to other computers, hence avoiding going to her home. It is done over the internet, and it should recognise the printer attatched to her pc at home, and sove your problem. Alternatively, she can invite you on to her pc through same process.

Will not print on command

Greetings welcome to Fixya.

Might I suggest downloading and installing the latest drivers for your HP Printer.
See my published guide entitled How to Install the latest drivers for Hewlett Packard Printer!!!

Be sure to connect the USB cable to both the computer and the Printer then turn on the Power. Try different USB ports on your computer/laptop.

Navigate to the Windows control panel and double click printers and faxes.
Click print test page on the bottom right of the box.
Also view the print que, right click on your printer and set it as the default printer.
Then in properties view the print que!

Also when you are printing in MS Word, click file print, then when the settings come up for the print ensure that your HP PSC 2410 All-In-One InkJet Printer is selected in the top most section of the box.

Tell me how it goes via comment!
Thanking you
