Ok,
I'm adding a printer on an XP Pro machine. Done it hundreds of times. This
time when i get to the screen that has the Manufacturers listing on the left
side and the printer on the rigth DELL is not listed on the left side. I need
it to be there so I can use the Windows Update button to get a specifiic
driver but without DELL listed on the left side as a manufacturer it's a no
go. The driver I need is not on a disk or download form a site and can only
be obtainded from the WIndow Update button on the printer install wizard.

Is there a text file or something on the XP workstation that feeds that left
side of avaiblebe manufactureres that i can put DELL in that will make it
come up?

Could not find any info on this anywhere.

I don't think "Dell" has ever been in that list. Try Lexmark -- Dell
printers typically are rebranded Lexmark printers.
