All Printers Missing after Service Pack 2 Install.

[Ted Leonard]

I just installed Windows XP Service Pack 2. Now all my
printers are missing from the "Printers and Faxes"
Control Panel Item. Everything was gone including direct
connected printers, network printer, FAX, and Paperport.
Short of reinstalling these all again, does anyone know
of a fix. Does anyone know if uninstalling Service Pack 2
would give me back my printers?

Thanks for any help.

Did anyone answer? We are having a similar problem, but

it occurred a week after SP 2 was installed!
