New Printer not detected by XP Home Edition

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

New device not found automatically.
Fatal stop error message:
0x7E
No online documentation to assist me. I would just like
to get my system back on-line with or without the printer
but I cant get it back and have to work in safe-mode now.
Also having trouble connecting to windows update now.
Have Norton anti-virus and internet security working when
not in safe-mode. Have recently removed many worms from
PC.
I just need to know how to get my system running properly
again with or without the printer.
Thanks,
Ashleigh

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
