I am having a problem with my HP Photosmart printer. Often times when I turn
off the printer and then turn it on again, the printer tries to reinstall
itself on my computer. When it finishes reinstalling I now have many
"copies" of the printer on my system. The icon on the bottom right of the
computer (and the icon in the printers folder) now says that "copy 2" or
"copy 3" or some other copy is the operative copy. Not sure why the printer
keeps going through the set up process almost every time I turn off the
printer or log on as a different user on the computer. I have talked to HP
and they tell me there might be a bug in my Windows XP system. I have tried
(multiple times) to uninstall and then reinstall the printer, but the same
problem persists. Any advise?
