New Hardware Found Printer will not install
For some time on my notebook I get that new hardware found and its a
printer, make and model unknown, but can't install. I have carefully followed the Microsoft article http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=298370. But I delete the registery key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\L PTENUM as directed and when I restart and go through the install as directed, then it can't install because appears not to find the drivers or identify the printer. When I try to direct install it to a printer, I don't have a clue as to what the make and model number is of the printer its trying to install so can't manually select the printer. It just says Printer Can't be INstalled. And I am back where I began! I have been fighting this problem for a year. I did suspect it might have started when I was at my son's house and used his HP Photoprinter P1000. But I downloaded the drivers for this from the HP site and tried to install it but was a no go! Can anyone offer any solution to this problem??? |

New Hardware Found Printer will not install
This will not totally solve your problem, without being at the machine it
would be hard. However it should stop your machine from displaying the message each time you start it. Once you have restarted and the message appears prompting you to install the drivers, keep clicking on Cancel until the messages go away. Then Click on Start Control Panel System Hardware Tab Device Manager Under either the printers or Imaging title you should see an entry with a yellow exclamation point. Right Click on this item and select Disable. This will disable the device and Windows will no longer look for drivers for this device.

New Hardware Found Printer will not install
You may have installed the wrong driver for your printer. Uninstall the
printer you have installed and have the hardware wizzard search for new hardware. Allow xp to choose what driver to use. I have choosen the drivers myself before and even though it was a xp driver windows still was looking at the printer as another seperate printer with another driver.

Greg, I found it and disabled it. At first I had no yellow printers
and was looking at the tabs under view and here was one that said show hidden devices, I enabled it, and like magic, was able to find the printer with yellow !. Have been pestered by this for two years so you are a hero! Thanks "Greg Palmer" wrote in message ... This will not totally solve your problem, without being at the machine it would be hard.
