I'm at work now, but it seems there are 3 different "...4200 series" models on HP web site. There is also a Vista driver to download.

Try this with the printer plugged in go into device manager and remove all printer listed there it may be listed a few times once removed shutdown the PC while the PC is shut down unplug the USB cord between the printer and the PC leave it unplugged. Turn the PC back on go back to device manager and check the printer is not still listed if not plug the printer back into the PC via the USB cable while the PC is on turn the printer on windows will say it has found the new hardware and reinstall it.
Did that work?
