I have a Trendnet print server which is a stand-alone device that has 2 USB
ports and 1 LPT port. I have 1 USB and 1 LPT printer attached to this
device. After installing IE8 both printers quit working. They are listed in
my Printers & Faxes window, and the LPT printer is set to my default, yet
when I try to print through any application...including IE8 I get a message
indicating that I don't have any printers installed. However, I can print
using a USB printer I have plugged directly into my computer. The working
printer is not associated with the other two attached to the print server,
which aren't working.

I have not yet tried to re-install the device drivers or the print server
software, so I don't know if this will resolve the issue. It would be nice
to be able to install IE8 on my other 4 machines without having this issue.
What solution do you have to offer? Thx!
