I have a dot-matrix Epson printer connected to LPT1 on a WinXP pro SP1 PC.
I need the printer driver not to be installed on the PC, but each time I
restart the PC, Windows recognizes the printer and installs the driver.
How can I disable this ?

Regards,
Paolo

Ensure your LPT port is set to EPP in the BIOS.

Disconnect the printer and/or disable the printer port in BIOS.
