install wizard prob.

[Scott]

I installed a print driver for my secondary printer
without using install wizard. Now every time I boot up
Install wizard detects new hardware even though I already
have the driver installed and functioning. How can I stop
Install wizard from doing this?

Hi Scott,

This problem can occur when the printer driver is initially installed. The
printer installation program from the manufacturer does not enable the New
Hardware Wizard to finish its detection of the newly installed printer.

To work around this problem, enable the New Hardware Wizard to finish, even
though the wizard cannot detect a new printer.

Checkpoint: Unhide hidden devices in the Device Manager, view the problem
devices and remove them manually there.
