I have the Found New Hardware message problem for my SAamsung ML-1750
laser printer connected thru a USB port.
If I click cancel, the printer appears in the "Printers and Faxes"
display, but it will not be printed to (excuse grammar). It has all
the properties intact, but won't print - although one can print to the
spool, but the files stack up, but never get physically printed.
I can manually delete the printer on the Printers and Faxes window,
then Add Printer and it will now run until boot-up, when XP finds new
hardware. This morinig, I let it look this one time on the internet
and it found a driver on Microsoft. This driver was one I had d/l'ewd
through Windows Update sometime earlier this year. I let it install,
but next bot-up, same thing. The next time, I installed the driver
myself from the original CD taht came with the printer nearly 2 years
ago. Driver seems to make NO difference.
Any thoughtsm anyone ?
