Default New hardware found - printer

I have 2 printers on my computer that are working fine. A
brother MFC4600 and Epson Stylus Color 600. Since
installing Windows XP, I keep getting new hardware found
at startup. I go through the steps and then it tells me
the hardware could not be found/installed. I understand
that I may still have the old Win98 drivers on my
computer. How do I find the old drivers and how do I tell
the old ones from the new ones? This new hardware found
message is becoming annoying. Thanks.

See the thread by Jackals on 4/21 or 4/27 in this newsgroup (MSKB says
delete HKEY, but...) I had the same problem and this thread includes the
fix process from my research, and MVP answers to my questions.

Also--get the driver from the Epson webpage (the staus monitor requires a
separate download).
