I had this problem also but on running setup several times it finaly
loaded. In addition when the software tested the printer it said it had
"trouble communicating with the printer.". Later I found out that the
printer cable that I had been using with several other printers would
not work with the 600C, it required a cable buildt to some new
standard. one of the indicators of this was in dos control pannel it
would say "Color cartridge not found" or something to that effect.

Hope this helps.
