HP Photosmart C4280 All-in-One setup

[AIGSRONE]

Hi, I have an HP Photosmart C4280 All-in-One and I have been trying for days to install it. The installation goes smoothly till the part where it asks you to connect your USB to the computer. It says:
1.)Make sure the device is powered on
2.)Connect the USB Cable
I do exactly that..then a Windows Vista pop appears and it says
Found New Hardware
Windows needs to install driver software for your C4200 series
I check the second option Ask Me Again Later
I even checked the first option one time and it says
Locate and Install the Driver Software This doesn't work because it ends up saying
Windows Cannot Locate The Driver Software
Now on the HP installation page it says
Device has been detected
Waiting for device setup to be finish. This may take several minutes.
The progress bar stays at 0/8 the whole time. And after several minutes it says:
Device setup has failed to complete

I have tried installing from the CD that came in the box, and I have also downloaded the driver and software from the HP website. Everything goes fine till it asks me to connect the USB cable and I run into the problem stated above. Nothing seems to work and I cannot figure out why this is doing this. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall it several times but it does not work, I even have bought a new USB cable and it still doesnt work. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A45-S250 Laptop. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate
