Printer
I recently reinstalled everything on my computer with a
newly ordered recovery cd from compaq. Now I cant get the computer to detect my printer. I get an error message (Waiting for windows ME file named 'hotplug.dll'. Sounds like there's a problem with my microsoft windows. I think that my microsoft windows ME is missing a component and that component is not allowing the computer to accknowledge my printer through the plug and play. I tried plug and play on a camera and it was successful. My printer is a all in one. It still operates on the phone line. All cables and wires,including USB are fine. What should I do about this. |

If the printer is connecting via USB then you must install the driver
software for the printer BEFORE connecting it to the PC. -- Cari (MS-MVP Printing, Imaging & Hardware) www.coribright.com " wrote in message ...
