Every time I restart Windows XP. XP Wizard detects my
printer and wants to and install the drivers for HP Desk
jet 540 and makes my printer spit out a blank page on the
printer. (The printer is already installed), I have tried
uninstalling LP1 and Hp Deskjet 540 printer and
rebooting. XP installs new port LP1 and HP 540 printer
drivers (But states cannot install device). It is already
installed. Every time I restart windows it does it
again. Any ideas??? It's annoying that this happens each
and every time.
I have contact HP and they responded quickly by E mail,
offered some suggestions, but nothing seems to work.
Suggesting that I contact Windows XP.
