USB printer issues when installing

When installing a HP Deskjet 2480 to a fresh install Windows 7 machine I encountered an error in the installation regarding there being USB problems with drivers/hardware even though the USB connections on the laptop worked fine. To get round this I saw this solution which evades the 'USB Ready' aspect of printer installation.

Extract the archive to a folder and then simply search it for 'USB Ready' to delete that particular file. On the next install there should be no problems.
