Startup program

[Guest]

I have XP home SP2 and have multiple logons. The problem is that I have a HP
OfficeJet T45 printer that needs to configure in order for the scanner to
work. Right now, it configures after someone logs on(each and every time
someone logs on no matter how many times this logon or someone elses logon
has logged on before). I want the printer to configure before anyone logs on
so that it will only do this operation once while the computer remains on.
Please help!

Is the scanner USB? Does the scanner pass thru the printer connection or
does it have its own USB connection?

Thanks for the response. It is an all-in-one printer and therefore there is
only one connection to the pc

Does the configuration program run as a process?

If so then open the Admin Tools/Services appelate

Find the service and then double click on it to pull up its
properties.

Click the log on tab

Check the first box "Local System account"

The configuration runs as a process but it isnt under the Services tab. I
looked in both the standard and extended sections in Services. Its not
there. Any other ideas?
