Found New Hardware - but it's already installed!

[Adam]

Hi,
I am running XP Pro SP2 and have installed a printer which is connected via
a USB cable. The printer works fine. But every time I switch on the printer
XP says it has found new hardware and launches the Hardware Setup Wizard. How
can I stop this happening?

What brand of printer? Maybe try updating the printer drivers?

Did you plug it into a different USB port?
If so , that happens some times...
Just install it a second time and see if that stops the constant nagging

I've solved the problem... I just ticked the box that says "Don't ask me to
install this software again"!! Thanks

Thanks but your link did not help as this is a USB printer and your KB issue
related to LPT1. Anyway, I've solved the problem... I just ticked the box
that says "Don't ask me to install this software again"!! Thanks
