It is not the major problem, it's the problem of OS system don't worry.
U, just reformat the harddisk again and install the fresh correct right License cd u use, to format the harddish Corrupt don't use the wrong verson or the corrupt cd. Beuz sometime the beta verson or wrong cd might not install the required program to the OS that support the hardware install in your system. fresh & ok cd u use to install OS cd. I sure that when u install fresh OS in your system there be no problem at all.
After installing the OS system and get install the mother board chipset cd which u got when u purchase the system install all the program automatically one by one& step by step. In that cd all the program will be install automatically that program will install which u system required.and then restart.the system.
After restarting the system go to device manager see all the device r install perfectly. After that u plug the printer cable with ur system the message will appear ( found new hardware) in ur screen and then fellow the instruction and install the printer program cd in ur cd drive and then continue fellow the instruction manuly.
I sure it be joyfull.

you could try this: unistall the HP printer driver first, uninstall the brother driver , restart pc, load brother driver with the usb cable unplugged from printer. Software will prompt for the cable to be connected to printer

With any unresponsive USB devices in XP it is always a good idea to try removing the device first with uninstall, plug it into a different USB port, and then reinstall the setup software. (Preferrably using a version from the vendors home-site instead of the original CD.)

This will do two things:

1. It will make sure that you are running the most up-to-date version of the installation software and driver.
2. It will keep Windows from trying to "put back" the same settings that are causing you issues.

Try a different brother driver or an HP 4000 driver / pcl 5 or 6. You should get a printout.
