Found New Hardware - but it's already installed!
Hi,
I am running XP Pro SP2 and have installed a printer which is connected via a USB cable. The printer works fine. But every time I switch on the printer XP says it has found new hardware and launches the Hardware Setup Wizard. How can I stop this happening? -- Best regards, Adam

If you posted in the printer newsgroup, I'd have got to you quicker.

If so , that happens some times... Just install it a second time and see if that stops the constant nagging

install this software again"!! Thanks -- Best regards, Adam "JD" wrote: Adam wrote: Hi, I am running XP Pro SP2 and have installed a printer which is connected via a USB cable.

Thanks but your link did not help as this is a USB printer and your KB issue
related to LPT1. Anyway, I've solved the problem... I just ticked the box that says "Don't ask me to install this software again"!!
