Networked HP printer installs drivers every print
I'm not sure whether this is a printer or network problem, so here
goes. Two XP Home computers networked with Netgear DG834G v2 ADSL modem router and Netgear WG111v2 wireless USB adapter. HP1350 all-in-one printer/scanner/copier attached to wireless connected computer. Modem/Wireless set up working very well. Problem: Each time the computers start up they install the 1300 series software, then each time a print is sent from either of the computers the software installs again before sending the page to the printer. This is becoming boring - what have I done wrong? What is the solution? Cheers Steve

does the printer has fixed IP in the net or is it getting it from the
DHCP of the router?

When I set the network system up I installed the software on both computers and shared the printer. Is there anything else that I should have done? Cheers Steve

Cheers Steve Steve How exactly did you install the printer on both computers? Best method is to install the printer on the computer that the printer is physically connected to,then share the printer and then install the printer on the remote computer as a network printer, inserting the driver CD if requested.

Tony Hi Tony, Installed software on both computers, then shared the printer. This seems like I've done it the wrong way round and that I should now uninstall from both and start again. I've tried uninstalling a HP printer before and it refused access, is there a foolproof way to do it? Steve

Steve Steve The prefered way to uninstall printers is as follows (assumes Windows XP but Win98 is very similar). 1. Open All Programs look for the printer in the program list and select uninstall if the option is there. 2. If that is not available, go to Control Panel, Add or remove programs and once more look for the Printer software and uninstall it. 3. If that is not available, go to Control Panel, open printers, right click the printer and select Delete. This is the least preferred way to do it because it can leave registry entries that will cause problems in some cases. Tony
