Printing Problem

[Chris]

I have a problem with my installing my printer. Every
time I plug it in an install the hardware, it always
says "Hardware might not work properly" I tried
everything like restarting the spooler, and I can't seem
to add the printer. It doesn't show in the list. Is
there a problem with the driver?

Do you have an install Disk from the manufacturer or the
set of new drivers. If so, after installing the new drivers,
be sure that the printer is on so the port and printer are
detected. Then after install is complete, restart the
computer. After restart, shut the computer down for 2 to 3
minutes. Then start the computer from cold start. Next
invest in a registry tuner cleaner and use it to remove any
errors in the registry. Then clean the disk drive by using
the MS tool in system tools, then defragment the drive.

In Romans 1 there are qualities of Unregenerate man listed
which describe him in the last days.
Is your quality found on this list??

Install software BEFORE connecting printer!

Now to get it right uninstall and reinstall.
