Having just installed XPpro onto a friends pc, I've discovered that
each time she boots her pc, the OS acts as if it's discovering the
printer (USB epsom)for the first time! The printer is fully installed &
the drivers are there for it plus everything looks fine in device
manager, so she just cancels the discovered hardware bubble & has been
able to use the printer OK! It's just annoying to have to keep
cancelling the bubble message each time so I was wondering whether
anybody can help with this or knows why it's happenning in the first
place? Thanks for your ideas in advance.
 
This is a GUESS here but I would go to the control panel open the printer folder and right click on the printer of choice and select it as the "default printer," if it is the default printer already - why not try a clean uninstall - reinstall?
Hope it helps ~
 
Have exactly the same problem with my old UMAX scannner.
Everytime I switch it off/on, XP rediscovers it! All the drivers are installed and its always usable.
