The printer software installation stalls or stops at specific percentages and the progress bar does not move any further when setting up the printer with a USB connection. This document should help in resolving the issue and applies only to products connected with a USB cable.

Solution

Step one: Uninstall the printer driver and software 

Disconnect the universal serial bus (USB) cable from the computer.
Insert the printer software CD into the computer.
A prompt to uninstall the software displays. Follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall the software.
Restart the computer.

Step two: Turn off the terminate and stay resident programs and other background programs 
When the computer is turned on, a software group called the Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) programs automatically loads. These programs activate some of the computer utilities such as the anti-virus software but are not required for the computer to function. Occasionally, TSR's prevent the printer software from loading so that it does not install properly.
In Microsoft Windows 98, Windows ME, and Windows XP, use the MSCONFIG utility to prevent TRR programs and services from starting up.

NOTE: This step does not apply to Windows 2000 because the MSCONFIG utility does not exist in Windows 2000. If your computer uses Windows 2000, ignore this step and proceed to Step three: Clear temporary files and folders by running the disk cleanup utility . 

Click Start and then click Run . The Run window opens. 
In the Open: box, type msconfig , and then click OK . The MSCONFIG utility window opens. 
Click the General tab. 
Select Selective Startup . 
If there is a check mark next to Load Startup items, click the check mark to remove it. 
For Windows XP systems only - Click the Services tab and place a check mark in the Hide All Microsoft Services box. 
Click Apply and then click Close . 
Click Restart to apply the changes to the computer during the next restart. 
Restart the computer.
Step three: Clear temporary files and folders by running the disk cleanup utility 
Follow the instructions in this step to clear temporary files and folders. 
To start the Disk Cleanup utility, click Start , point to Programs , Accessories , and System Tools , and then click Disk Cleanup . 
The Disk Cleanup analyzes the hard drive and then presents a report with a list of options with check boxes next to them. Select the appropriate check boxes to remove the unnecessary components.
The Disk Cleanup utility frees hard disk space on your computer by doing the following:
Deleting temporary Internet files.
Deleting downloaded program files.
Emptying the Recycle Bin.
Deleting files from your temporary folder.
Deleting files created by other Windows tools.
Removing optional Windows components that you do not use.
