Can't Install Printer after installing Windows XP SP2

I need help from whoever can help. I have been to many different forums, on
all different companies to get help. So I am turning to you all in hopes you
have experiences this problem or know how to fix it.

First off I have Dell Dimension 8100. My hard drive crashed and I had to
replace the whole thing. I purchased a retail full version of Windows XP SP2
and installed it my new hard drive. Ever since then I can not install any
printer on the computer.

Details of what I did and my problem.
-Hard Drive crashed, purchased and installed a new one
-Installed a full version Windows XP SP2 (new purchase, since before I only
had an upgrade)
-Tried to install USB printer (tried multiple printers), when I plug in the
printer it recongnizes the type of printer, then it shows copying the files
to install the driver, then at the end it closes and says "there was a
problem installing your printer, it may not work properly"
-The printer does not show up in the control panel under printers
-Downloaded the latest drivers for both printers to ensure I had the latest
version.
-Still same problem
-Uprgaded BIOS Version to XP2, the latest version
-Still same problem
-Did an Upgrade (repair) of Windows XP SP2 hoping that would solve it.
-STILL SAME PROBLEM

So any ideas?

Thanks,
Rich
