Go to the HP website, click on "support" then "software and drivers",
key in either HP2100tn or C4172a into the entry field and follow the trail from there. If there is a driver available for your operating system (you should check that in control panel-system ) you can download and install it. HP LaserJet 2100tn Printer
Maybe the printer driver you are using is not compatible with the windows version you have on your system. I would go to the HP web site and see if there is a driver for your printer and check the connection to your laptop

solution 1>
CAUSE:
Certain HP services (and associated DLL files) were somehow partially/improperly installed. (Possibly, from a previous failed install?)
The Windows services (files) were:
Pml Driver HPZ12 (C:\Windows\System32\HPZipm12.dll) Net Driver HPZ12 (C:\Windows\System32\HPZinw12.dll)
The existence of these 2 files in the System32 directory was causing this error in my situation. Somehow, the installation script was not identifying that these files were already installed (or improperly installed) and failing to properly set them to be installed again.
SOLUTION:
Steps:
1) Check to make sure that the 2 Windows services above are not running (or not installed). 2) Rename/delete the 2 associated service DLL files (this will only be possible once the services are stopped) 3) Run the installation again.
