HP R80 Problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I have an HP R80 printer/fax/scanner. It worked great under Win-98. I
upgraded to XP and it continued to work fine. Win XP recognized it and
installed the correct drivers. Since applying the Win-XP service pack 2
upgrades, I have a problem with the scanner. Anytime the printer generates a
error condition back to the system (out of paper, paper jam, ink low, etc.)
the system no longer recognizes the scanner. The only correction is to
uninstall the IEEE1284.4 devices from the control panel, shut down and
restart the system, and have Plug 'n Play reinstall the printer & scanner.
Is there anything I can do to correct this? I do not want to have to
uninstall service pack 2 and the subsequent patches.
