I installed a Lexmark T520 printer correctly, and the driver works
fine. Problem is that Win XP mistakenly doesn't think so. The XP ANHW
insists on asking for a file (LXT520xp.GPD) that doesn't exist in the
driver file/folder set.
Every time I start XP, the Add New Hardware Wizard appears asking for
this file. How can I get this Wizard to stop appearing? I do not get
any prompts in the Wizard that would allow me to check "do not appear
again", or words to that effect, instead it just keeps asking for the
LXt520xp.gpd file. I also checked to see if there was any way I could
go through the Add Printer function procedure to stop the undesired
on-boot-up start of the ANHW, to no avail - there is no other way to do
it than the way I did it.
The "Device Manager" does not include the printer in the list anywhere.
I originally used the Add Printer function to add the printer, and it
worked fine - I was able to select the make/model from the menu, and it
asked for the proper filename in the driver folder, which I gave it,
and it finished installing correctly.
But on boot-up it still keeps coming back and asking for the wrong
setup file (i.e., LXt520xp.gpd).
I ran Setup for the driver install before I connected the printer.
However, the driver install procedure never prompted for connection of
the printer.
I tried the procedure in KB Article 298370, it didn't correct the
problem.
It appears that Microsoft XP recognizes the printer, but has the
(currently) wrong setup file indicated for it in XP. I should be able
to at least keep the ANHW from starting on boot-up. How do I do this?
