New Hardware Found Error Message

[Bob]

Windows 2000

I have successfully installed a new printer & set it as the default printer.
It works fine, no problems. Whenever I reboot the computer the "found new
hardware... please wait" box comes up (listing my printer model), I must
wait almost 5 minutes (the computer is tied up while Windows searches for
drivers) then the dialog box asking new to insert the CD with the drivers
comes up, I hit the cancel button at that point and everything works fine.
What's up? How can I stop this from happening?

Thanks in advance... Bob

The first thing I would try is uninstall and reinstall that device. If
that not work, look into ControlPanel/System to see if there is a
conflict, or perhaps it is installed twice, or anything else that don't
look right.
