We don't know what that means either, since you provided no details about
your computer, the problem (exact error messages) or what you've already
done. In general, to install a printer on Vista you go first to the printer
mftr.'s website and download Vista drivers. Then, without the printer
attached, you install the drivers. For HP printers, you'll be told when to
connect the cable during the installation routine. Here is a link to HP's
site where you can select the exact model of your C4200:

Pick the correct model and download the drivers.

If this doesn't work because of some other problem (for ex. perhaps this is
a computer where you installed Vista and forgot to get drivers for all your
hardware and none of the USB ports work), then please do post back after
looking at these links to see what details you need to include in your next
post so you can get specific help:

sounds like the printer is not plugged into the computer.

take a look at the manual that came with the printer on how to plug it into the computer.

That's a double negative and it actually means that you can print
something from your computer. I, on the other hand, can't scan ANYTHING
because I receive the message saying USB not connected when in fact it
is. I can successfully print however. My C4200 is connected to a Vista
Ultimate x64 machine which I'm sure is the problem. If anybody is aware
of a fix for this annoying problem, please share:D

It's probably because your 64 bit version of Vista will not support Twain
which is the old software for scanning. Either get a newer multi function
printer will will support scanning under WIA (Windows Image Acquisition) and
64 bit or use a 32 bit version of Vista.
