Base System Device - Printer stopped working
I have a HP 4050N printer and recently purchased a USB to parallel cable so I
could use it with my current laptop that does not have a parallel port. It worked fine for several weeks, but then I started traveling and would unplug the printer when I took the computer with me then plug it back in when I returned. Then I began getting a message when I booted that there were three unknown base system devices to install. I wasn’t sure what they were so I did not install them. Gradually the printer became intermittent and finally it will not print at all. When I went to the device manager the base system devices show up with a question mark in yellow. When I went to Printers and Faxes in the control panel I find four HP4050N icons that I did not install (I assume they self-installed each time I tried a different USB port). Any advice on how to make my printer work again? |
