All of my printers disappeared. It will not allow me to
install a printer. The list to install from never appears
only the message "operation could not be completed". I
have never had a problem before and I am logged in as
administrator. Checked for virus with Norton and found
none. Anyone know how I can get the printer install to
work again?

Thanks
Bob
