I have a printer Hooked up as a specialty printer for
this PC station. I dont have it on the network and The
User cannot use it for other things.

<p> However, The application that uses the printer can
and does use it (a Zebra label Printer). Now, in the past
couple of weeks, something happened, (I have no clue
what, the user doesn't say he did anything), Now Windows
pops up a window saying New Hardware Found apply New
Drivers. The driver that it wants to use does not have a
Windows Certificate and I dont want to use it.

<p>

It would be best if I knew how to turn off the New
Hardware Found thing that Winows uses. I have used the
installation CD to add the driver that came with the CD,
I dunno. With 50 PC's to work and keep up...

Does someone know how to turn off the Found New Hardware
Feature?
