Or, if you have the disk that was packaged with your printer, click Have Disk…. Step 6 Windows will lead you through some additional steps to complete the installation. Step 5 Select your printer from the list and click Next. But as we know all problems can be fixed : Start regedit. You might have to restart the Print Spooler service after deleting that key to see the change go through.
As always when working with the registry be careful and to be on the safe side create a System Restore Point before doing the edit.
