Re: Printer Driver will not stay installed - asks to install immediately after installing when clicking on printer properties.

I tried printing to file and I get the error message "Unable to access
printer"

Thanks.

If you you have the driver installed locally, change the port to "File"
and try printing. Then change back to the network port and try printing.

Let us know.

like not all the require files are getting to the client machine.

Thanks for your help, but this is a network printer shared by the
server. It does not show a New Hardware Wizard.

I have a network Dell M5200nprinterinstalled. I only have this
problem with one workstation. When I try to print to the Dell
it says
printerisnotinstalled. I go to Printers and right click on the
printerand click on properties. Immediately a dialog box comes
up
that says theprinterdriverisnotinstalledand asks me if I want
to
install it.

If I click yes I can install it. I go through the install and
select
the correctprinterdriverand then finish. The same thing
happens!
I am unable to print to theprinter. I have tried installing a
generic HPdriverand I get the same result.

I fixed the problem once by doing a System Restore this
morning. I
thought I was out of the woods, but the problem reappeared and
I do
notknow what to do.

As I said before, this is the only workstation with this
problem. It
is able to print to other printers.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have also tried that, but the same thing happens.

But, It seems to have "magically" fixed itself. This has happened
before though and then it randomly has the problem again.

Hopefully the problem doesn't come back, but if it does I'll let you
know.

Well it is broke again! I don't know what to do. This is almost a
clean install. I just wiped the hard drive and reinstalled Win XP Pro
1 1/2 weeks ago.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
