I can’t see where to download this dll on the network, and tried to rerun the lj1100cuwinnt42kxp-en.exe file again, as what tinkergeek did, but still no success. And what is the HP Helper application? Also, I do not find on my system hpdriv.exe or hpdrv.exe. where can I get it? HELP!!!!

When I changed the driver to “HP Desktop”, it could not find tmp2prop.dll. I found it in System32 folder but et the end of the HP Desktop installation process I was informed that computer can't perform the installation. I have XP Home Edition. I've tried all I know - still nothing. Thanks, Jakar I have the same problem as fabian. When I changed the driver to “HP Desktop”, it could not find tmp2prop.dll.

The printer prints but the scaner fails to be seen. have you had the need to find a solution for vista and the 11ooA I would donate if you could solve the problem.

Yakov, you seriously kick ass for single-handedly providing 1100A owners a way to resurrect their old printers. I can only hope that others have the Google-fu to find this page. Cheers! OMFG.

I had googled for 18 hours, found no answer, so phoned HP to buy the installation CD but HP had me bouncing around, (from technical support to HP Shopping, to HP spare parts, to HP Printer support (who don't support scanners) back to technical support). So I googled scanner laserjet 1100A and this page was the first item. re DKeeler Oct 13, 2007 In Windows XP (SP2) the set up program aborts and asks to send a message to Microsoft. Not to worry, the important scanner programs have been expanded and installed. Continue to install the other two programs and everything works out. re Dave April 23, 2008 In Windows 2000 (SP3) the set up program aborts (_INS0432_MP.exe has generated errors). Not to worry, the important scanner programs have been expanded and installed. Continue to install the other two programs and everything works out. The remaining issue is the separation pad failure which results in multi-page feeds. Can't wait for Yakov's friend to ask him to solve that one. Yakov has exerted himself to find a suitable solution and took the time to share the fruits of his larbors with others. May he get all the ice cream he wants in life.

They mirror some I found a couple of years ago which worked, unfortunately, I cannot get this to work. In my particular instance, I have my original Win2k installation CD, but the autorun won't function, and when I bypass that directly to setup.exe, I can see it start to run in TaskManager before it promptly quits without any indications or program display. The "Step 1" driver you recommend exhibits the exact same symptoms...starts in TaskManager, then promptly quits. So, I'm stuck not being able to install the initial drivers. What bites is I had this working previously until something corrupted the installation, and "disabled" the scanner. Any ideas why the setup.exe's aren't initiallizing properly?
