Why do I need to reinstall my printer every time I turn my computer on?
Did you install the software ?

Why do you not include any vital information at all with your query?
Operating System (specifically - version, service pack level, architecture?)
Make/Model of the printer in question?
Version of the drivers you install(ed)?
What the manufacturer of the printer says when you ask them?
If you have even visited the printer manufacturer's web page for advice, to
look through their FAQs and/or download the latest software and/or drivers?

The computer that I am using is a Windows Vista, pack 2. The computer is a
Hewlett Packard, HP Pavilion Slimline. The front of the computer says
NVIDIA and AMD 64. I'm not sure of the driver.
The printer is a Dell 948 all-in-one printer. And, yes, I did talk to Dell
and they informed me that my warranty just expired and that I would need to
pay them $275 in order to diagnose the problem. I did try to look on the
FAQs but could not find anything that could help, as far as I could tell,
whatever that's worth. I did also find a download on the site but even after
the download, the printer didn't work. The printer is two years old.
Hopefully that's enough information???

Did you think of going to Dell's driver download section and getting the
drivers for your printer and re-installing them?

Yes. I did go to the site and did the download. I am beginning to think I
might have something on my computer. Not on this lap top, but on my desk
top. I stopped using it. Could that be?

Well Mr. Pepe laPope,
What, may I ask, brand of printer do you fancy ?
Frankly as far as I am concerned, they're all garbage, it is just a matter
of how bad. I feel this way about everything from vacuum cleaners to
automobiles. Everything purchased nowadays should be considered disposable.
So you buy a Dell printer, Canon printer, Brother printer, Lexmark printer,
HP printer...it doesn't matter. They all suck, it is just a matter of how
bad.
Now, about the email address you chose. I'd say you are a troubled soul
that could benefit from some inexpensive pyschotherapy or expensive
medication. Even better, perhaps, both. LOL !

Possibly. Download and run malwarebytes and see what turns up.

I am unable to load the Malwarebytes because my computer is not able to hook
up to the internet. Is there another way to load it on a memory stick and
then load on the computer?

Yes. Take a thumb drive to another computer and download the program to it.
Then you can install it on your computer. If you don't have an internet
connection it won't be able to update to the latest version, but it'll still
work.
