You might want to check how much RAM your computer has - it needs at least 512 MB to run the installer, as unlike the installed version, it cannot virtualize RAM without HD support.
The printer issue is likely to be that the printer is reserving memory addresses which the vista installer doesn't like, or that it is looking (and failing) to find drivers, or is trying to read off the printer as if it were a device.
You should unplug all unnessisary peripherals during vista setup, and make sure you are running with 512 MB RAM.
