Print Management - where is it hiding on me??
Just got a new Toshiba laptop running Windows 7.
Tried to install a fairly new Canon LBP 2900i laser printer that worked great with Vista. Downloaded the Windows 7 driver from the Canon website The driver installation fouled up in some way. When I tried to reinstall I get a message about the system being unable to use the installer with this driver package. Read somewhere that I need to remove all of the driver and any other bits installed before I can try a reinstall. I have tried all of the driver removal actions that I would have done with XP but to no avail. Read somewhere that "Print Management" will find and remove all printer drivers for me. Tried to access the new "Print Management" function which is supposed to reside under Administrative Tools but cannot find the icon. Tried to use the "snap in " function in Management Console but cannot find Print Management listed as an option to "snap in" Anyone know where I am going wrong? Everything else is just dandy but I would like to be able to print :-{( Torky |

Or more generally...
Is there a Secret Decoder Ring available somewhere that helps XP users find where they moved everything in Win7? I could swear that most of the changes I'm having to deal with in Win7 are simply change for change's sake. I can't discern any actual benefit from the radical changes. Change for change's sake is a key element of User Vicious software products. |

Change for change's sake is a key element of User Vicious software products. One of the reasons things have been moved around in Vista\Win7 is security. Vista was a radical change from XP with the introduction of UAC. Settings that posed a security risk had to be separated from those that didn't and the result is a more fractured look compared with XP. That's why things like Control Panel seem to have lots of settings scattered about whereas in XP they were grouped together. |

Actually I moved from XP straight to Win 7 and soon found my way around |

Try Control Panel/Devices and Printers Remove Device.
As for the driver I would then check the Device Manager for the Printer Driver and if you find it, remove it, disconnect your printer and follow the instructions for the installation of your printer substituting the new driver where appropriate in the installation process.
