The printer from hell

by kpo6969 Jul 25, 2007 10:51AM PDT

I recently did an XP Home repair from the installation disk. Everything is fine except when it boots up the "found new hardware" screen comes up saying it found a printer. I haven't had a printer running on it for at least 6 months. I had un-installed everything having to do with the printer. Now after the repair the screen comes up every time. The only thing I thought it could be was at one time I tried to set up a home network to use a printer on another system but couldn't. Any ideas? Thanks

Printers and Faxes from the Start menu. Click the File menu, Server Properties, Drivers Tab. If you never removed the printer's drivers they will be listed here.
