HP Laserjet 1320 and Laserjet 4345 don't get along

Here at my work, when I install the driver for the HP Laserjet 4345 MFP, the installation fails when there is a driver for the Laserjet 1320 present. After that, the existing 1320 driver is broken, so I end up with none of both drivers. On PCs without 1320 driver, there is no problem. Pretty weird, with two drivers from the same manufacturer... I have contacted HP about this and if they come up with something worthwhile, I'll post it here.

[update]
HP provided a solution:
1. Remove all drivers (via Printers and Faxes, Device Manager en Add/Remove Software).
2. Install the 1320 driver from cdrom (the driver from the HP website appears not to contain all components). Don't connect the printer before the setup program asks you to.
3. Install the 4345 driver with the HP Network Install Wizard.
