Vista - Problems installing HP 1320n on Vista

I have connected the printer to the USB port, but Vista does not
detect the printer automatically. When I looked in the Hardware
Management (in danish Enhedshåndtering) on the IEEE 1284.4 port, the
printer is visible.

I tryied install it by doing the following actions:

Add printer
Choose LPT1
I downloaded the latest drivers from HP and chose "have disk..."
I chose the printer
And followed the last steps succesfully

However, when I try to print a test page, the printer status changes
to Error.

I hope that you can help me out here....

Thanks

You're supposed to install the required software BEFORE connecting the
printer to the PC

Thank you for your suggestion, however I tried Bob Headricks solution
first as this was the easier one of the two. Thanks anyway.
