Operation failed with error 0x0000007e

I'm trying to connect to a network printer with a new Dell 4310. I've connected to 4 other printers, but this one says "Operation failed with error 0x0000007e" I tried to connect to the same printer with my Dell 6400 and it connected fine. They're both running Win 7. Anyone seen this before?

That doesn't work.  When I tried that it gave me a new error " Printer Driver was not installed.  Operation could not be completed (error 0x80240022).

Reinstall your printer drivers...
Remove the printer 1st via Control Panel/Device Manager...
Then uninstall the printer software in Add/Remove programs...
Then reboot...


NOTE: If its a USB connection leave it unplugged until the software prompts you to plug it in.

I cannot uninstall the printer because it never installed.  I try to download a driver from HP, and it just says that the driver is included in Win 7.  I do not have a stand alone driver to install and I have no installed driver to uninstall.
