How can I get my USB printer doesn't work?

I am trying to install a Dell 3000cn laser printer in my computer. He started by putting a virtual printer in my control panel that would not print it had nothing on the Hardware tab, under its properties and real hardware was still on the list of unknown devices in the bottom.  I removed both and removed the driver and tried to install the printer before I plugged it in which does the same thing as before so I went into the Device Manager and there was no printer listed. I've uninstalled the usb printer support and removed everything that are associated and tried. Now I get support of usb error has a printer driver problem.

I tried to support the customer of Dell they got hung up, I tried Windows customer, they want me to pay.
I've exhausted the research online and can't find 5 people with the same question online all back in 2008 to 2010 which was never resolved.

How can I get the USB printer to work?

Generally, printers do not appear in Device Manager.  You will see, however, registrations for "IEEE 1284.4 devices ' or ' IEEE 1284.4 compatible printer" in particular for HP printers.  It is possible that your Dell printer is really a re-badged HP.

What exactly did you delete when you have uninstalled the "usb printer support '?

Please provide the full error message text that you do when this error.

Why do you think you had a 'virtual' printer is installed?

Click Start, click devices and printers.  What are the items in the category 'printers and faxes '?
