Hi emcee833, · Do you have any other printers connected? Method 1: If you have any other printer connected, then disconnect them and check if it helps. Method 2: If there are no printers connected then try to uninstall and reinstall this printer.Delete a PrinterTo connect a printer directly to your computer Also see:Microsoft Windows XP - Add a printer attached to your computer Regards,Syed N – Microsoft Support--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Visit our Microsoft Answers Feedback Forum and let us know what you think.
