Hey everyone
I am trying to install a printer for my bro, should be a simple task but is not. XP Pro and it will not recognize a printer, I have tried 2 diff printers and they won't be seen. The add hardware wizard won't see them nor will the software that came with the printers. XP is up to date on updates, usb ports seem to work fine-mouse, keyboard and other usb devices all work fine. Print spooler is running. I have tried the latest drivers from HP and Canon websites. Can install the software fine but XP just won't see the printers. I don't know what els to try and cannot really find anything by searching, any thoughts? Thanks
