Printer

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I am running 2 printers off my Celeron 2.66 system. One is a USB Brother
MFC which is just working fine and the other is a Lexmark OPRA K laser
running on a parrallel port. It actually runs fine also except that on
reboot of the computer, and also after turning on the Lexmark the found "New
Hardware Wizard" keeps appearing searching for a new driver. I have already
downloaded a new XP driver for the Lexmark but it appears to be searching
for a Windows 2000 driver which I have never had on my system. Any pointers
to how I can stop the wizard as its more of a nuisance than anything else.
I have tried reloading drivers, searching the registry etc but no luck. Any
help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Rod Gayford
