Control Panel Printers is where you install, update and configure printers.

James,
In Device Manager, printers are displayed under View Show hidden devices, if the printers are installed. The Device Manager standard view does not display printers. Manage printers from Control Panel Printers, as the previous poster indicated. -- freddy "James" wrote: The problem is: the printers do not show up in device manger?

Device Manager
James,
In Device Manager, I don't know why printers don't display under View Show hidden devices. Do printers show up in Control Panel Printers? If they do, and they are working properly, then I see no reason to be concerned. Maybe someone else has an explanation. I don't. -- freddy "James" wrote: Printer are installed and working, BUT, I went to view- Show hidden devices- the printers still do not showup under- Hidden devices.

You're welcome.
You should really do all your printer management with Control Panel Printers. I don't think there is much you can do in Device Manager. -- I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS! "James" wrote in message ...

Alternately you can run the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties and select Customize, then scroll down to Printers and tick it. Now it will behave as it did iin Windows XP with a Printers group on your Start Menu. Wayne |
