Did you do a "quick format" or standard? I had the same problem with a
network card after doing a quick format. The standard format checks the
drive for errors and fixes them before the install, so you might try running
scanddisk if a uninstall and re-install of the drivers doesn't work. I know
this sounds a little weird, but it fixed my problem.

Tom,
It doesn't matter where you are. You have the wrong Time Zone set. Believe
it or not this can cause all kinds of problems. I helped a guy yesterday
who didn't have sent messages going into his Sent Items folder in Outlook
Express because his time was incorrect. This is just one example.
This is from your message properties >>>
Date: Mon, 3 Oct 2005 12:07:31 -0700
The -0700 at the end means the Pacific Daylight Time Zone for the US and
Canada. -07:00 from GMT. Greenwich Mean Time.
I am in the Mountain Daylight Time Zone in the US. My message properties
shows >>>
Date: Sun, 2 Oct 2005 19:43:58 -06:00. -06:00 from GMT.
Sydney, Australia Local Time = GMT+10:00 (Standard Time)
To set the proper Time Zone...
Double click your clock.
Click the Time Zone tab.
You should see >>>
(GMT+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney
If you do not, click the V and scroll down to it and select it.
Click Apply.
Click OK.

Have you tried uninstalling your ghost printer?
Right click on My Computer. Go to Manage. Go to Device Manager.
If the drivers weren't found for the ghost printer, you should have a Yellow
Question Mark on that list. Right Click it and uninstall it. Hit OK to
confirm the removal. While your at it, uninstall your normal printer as
well. Restart the computer and reinstall your printer.
Does that work?

Thanks Bob, but no go...the only printer listed on this PC is my i320
I have uninstalled the i320 (disconnected it) and EVEN then with NO printers
connected to this PC it still finds "printer" (no model or anything)
but won't install anything...
Cheers

Hi all,
I have WindowsXP Professional I formated and reloded last week and all is
fine except whenever I boot my computer it "finds a new printer"
I have a Canon i320 installed and with the latest drivers..
When I installed the i320 Windows "found i320" but this new message just
says "found printer" (no model numnber).
It finds this ghost printer whether my i320 is turned ON or Off connected
to the pc or disconnected to the pc.
I have tried deleting the i320 and letting Windows re-detect the printer and
it finds the "i320" then on the same boot it also finds the "printer" so
then I have to go through the motions of letting it look for drivers and the
saying Drivers can't be found and then there was an error installing new
hardware....
This is not a major problem, this is just irritatting, the computer works
fine but I just don't want the hassel of anymore..
Thanks
Keith

Something is still there.... (probably something other than the Canon)...
Disconnect it ... once again!
Follow Bruce Sanderson's instructions to completely blitz all drivers...
http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm
Then reinstall the sofware and do NOT reconnect it until the software asks
for you to connect the printer.
