disabling auto Add New Hardware Wizard ("ANHW") startup on..

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

I installed a Lexmark T520 printer correctly, and the driver works
fine. Problem is that 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.

The "My Ccomputer"/"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
LXt520xp.gpd file.

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 doesn't correct the
problem.

It appears that Microsoft XP recognizes the printer, but has the
(currently) wrong setup file indicated for it. I should be able to at
least keep the ANHW from starting on boot-up. How do I do this?
