DeskJet 3520 prints OK, but gives the wrong error message.

Yesterday, I installed a brand new 3520 Deskjet on an existing Windows XP PC.

The printer prints the now very well two documents and test pages, it also copies OK.

But, every time it prints a page, Windows launched a misleading message that the printer is not connected.

There was a bit of a problem installing. When I came to the PC of someone else had tried to install it and the PC thought that the printer is connected to LPT1, a non-existent port port, is why it wouldn't print-out. I ran the installation CD, select USB connection and ended up with two 3520 s in "Printers and faxes" a LPT1 and USB, so I deleted the connected device LPT1 and renamed USB because he had one (1) is appended to the name. Maybe a part of still think Windows there are two 3520 s identical to which it can send print files, one that works and one that doesn't even have a port.

Any ideas how I can fix this error message / delete the ghost printer if that's what it is?

(1) open printers & faxes
(2) temporarily thing set as default printer
(3) remove 3250 and unplug the USB cable
(4) restart Windows
(5) Reconnect USB cable - Windows will recognize the new hardware and set it up automatically. No need for drivers or CD, it keeps that information.
(6) back to the printers & faxes to ensure that 3250 is display and make sure he again default printer.
(7) test prints - OK - job done.
