How can I get printer driver for HP5600 to download to my HP Vista laptop?

When trying to install printer driver using the CD for Vista that came with my new All-in-One printer, it stops installing part way through and says "HP Installer Option Plug-In has stopped working" and that the extended attributes are inconsistent. I have disabled anti-virus and also tried downloading directly from HP site, but nothing I do seems to work.

1. http://www.hp.com and click help. They have a live chat tech that can help you.
2. Ther should be an updated version on HP's site with the correct drivers.
3. You could try an automatic driver update utility. It may locate a driver that will actually work. I had a similar problem where I was downloading a driver that was supposed to be correct but it would not function. I found and tried Driver Detective at http://www.pcdriverupdate.com and it found the driver I needed and set it up for me. In a few minutes I was done. Try the free scan on that site and see what it finds. Hope it helps you. Peace!
