I have a HP desktop PC running XP professional version 2002 SP3. *Every
single time I boot or reboot the PC, I am told that I have a new device

it fails.

Needless to say, the three printers I have hooked up are installed and
working fine.

I have checked the box "not to check for the device", but it still checks
everytime. *And there are no "?" devices in Device Manager....

What can I do to stop this? *It's very annoying !!

See this article
The New Hardware Wizard may detect the printer device after
every restart of the computer
