I have a printer that has to be unplugged, and whenever I plug
in it again (USB port) Windows XP Pro SP2 registers it as a
Whole new printer: i.e. "Brother 1440 (copy x)"

I also have an application that has to be told which printer to use, so
it does not give the option of browsing for a new printer!

How can I prevent the "copy x" when there is ALREADY a printer installed
by the same name!?
