Installed printer uninstalled after reboot/restart of the computer

During the last two weeks, I had to reinstall my printer (Kodak ESP3250) manually after every reboot/restart my computer running Windows XP with service pack 3. It's never happened before with the same printer and the same computer. I have made no changes to my computer during the period in question, except regular updates from Microsoft, can someone explain why it's happening and what I can do to stop it?

Hello

Follow these steps and check if that helps:

Method 1:

I suggest you try to update the latest drivers for the printer and check if it helps:
http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/print_drivers_install_updatew.mspx?mfr=true

Method 2:
Try to perform the clean boot and check if it helps:

NOTE: When you are finished troubleshooting, make sure that put you the computer in start mode normal as suggested article above.

  • The mouse settings not saved after reboot/restart

    I'm changing the speed at which my mouse pointer moves on the screen.  I'm doing a 'demand' the change, and then click on 'ok '.   The point of the mouse moves faster in the game.  Then after reboot/restart the computer, the mouse setting is default slower movement speed.   The changes are not saved after reboot.   What keeps the change of speed of movement of the mouse to be saved?

  • Setting advanced system not saved after reboot/restart

    I changed my settings of performance... then when I restart my computer... the computer is always the same as the front... I use a standard account... when I went to the administrator, it works... I want to change my standard user performance parameters. :'(

    Hi Erik,

    Using the standard user account to change settings?

    If you are connecting with a standard user account and then try to change the system of advance parameters he will automatically restore to the default settings after reboot, due to the user account permission.

    Note: If you want to change the advance system settings you must change the settings using the account administrator only.

  • After reboot, Muse download the entire site rather than the modified files

    I'm running a problem. When I want to download only the files that have changed my site, Muse download the full site, which takes a long time. This problem occurs only after a restart of the program. If I continue to work with him and change something, Muse downloads only changed pages or image.

    But after having quit and restarted Muse, it happens again. How can I solve this?

    Please see my answer in the other thread you posted in. Re: download hundreds of files, why? >

  • I have the latest downloadable version of the LR5.  It crashed while it was perceived 1:1 uttered during an import. After a restart of the Win764(), it displays a message that LR has to leave because he cannot read the preview files and it will try to fix

    I have the latest downloadable version of the LR5.  It crashed while it was perceived 1:1 uttered during an import. After a restart of the Win764(), it shows a message that LR has to leave because he cannot read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next time's lance.  I get the same message to another and whenever he throws so I can't launch LR at all now.

    I get the preview of a file has been corrupted somehow.  Is it possible to fix this without having to build a new catalog?

    Use Windows Explorer to open the folder containing your catalog. You will see a folder with the extension .lrdata. You must remove this folder, and then restart the Lightroom. Lightroom will generate a new folder of previews.

  • My printer is configured to start when the computer turns on. I want to reconfigure it so that it does not turn

    My printer is configured to start when the computer turns on.  I want to reconfigure it so that it won't turn.  I know this is probably a simple change, but I can't find the path anywhere.  Any help?

    I guess you do NOT mean that you have both printer and computer plugged into the same power strip and both are turn on when you turn on the power strip.

    As nearly as I can determine the rather thin material in the Guide for the Dell P713w user, probably have enabled "Eco-Mode" or the mode 'sleep '.  See page 19 of the User Guide (if you don't have it, download it here: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/PRN_P713w/en/index.htm).

    When this feature is enabled, the printer goes into mode low power when it has been idle for a while.  When the computer is off, the printer is by definition inactive and so will go to low power, shortly after that the computer is turned off.  When the computer is turned on, it detects the presence of the printer and connects to the printer.  Apparently, the printer interprets this string as the "no-idle" and out of his low-power mode, which appears as if it is "turn on."

    In addition, this printer performs an automatic maintenance cycle every week if it is plugged into a power outlet. It will briefly exit Power Saver mode or turn on temporarily if it is disabled.

    At least one of the lights on the printer flashes power on and off when you think that the printer is turned off?  If so, it is in energy saving mode.

    Of course, I may be totally wrong, but it seems to me if you actually turn off the printer by pressing the button on / off on screen, he should not be able to auto (except once / week maintenance cycle).  From the Manual:

    Note: When the printer is turned on, press [power] to switch to the power saving mode. Press and hold [power] for 3 seconds to turn off the printer.

    After I shut down the computer, he re boots itself after 5-10 minutes. Weird. I tried to change the settings. Can anyone suggest anything?

    Hello

    2. are - it stop with the power button on the computer?

    If so, this causes the computer in a standby / hibernation
    If you shut down properly by clicking on start > stop, then you must wait until the computer is shut down before you close the lid of the laptop.

  • Print spooler problems and cannot install printer driver after Windows 7 upgrade (80070706)

    I just upgraded from Vista to Win 7 Ultimate.  Once installation is complete, I tried to update the drivers and install the latest updates.  Everything worked except for HP LaserJet 4 L driver.  As a first step, whenever the driver tried to install it, the print spooler service may stop working, and the driver installation failed with error code 800F0246.  I then removed everything from the spool directory, rebooted and tried again.  This time, the print spooler service has not prevented from working, but the driver still does not work with error code 80070706.

    I can't find the information for this error (80070706) anywhere on the web.  Any help would be appreciated.

    More information: the HP LaserJet 4 L printer is connected via a parallel to a prolific USB docking cable.  Windows recognizes the printer as the IEEE-1284 device, but says it needs driver to work.

    Update: I was able to manually add the 4L driver using the print server properties dialog box, BUT if I try to add a printer after that, I get "the print processor does not exist.  If I try to add a printer without installing the driver, I get ERROR 0 x 00000002.

    Everything is running as an administrator.  It worked perfectly under Vista.

    Thanks for these links, but these proposals did not help nor solve the problems.

    After a long and painful journey through the registry, I determined that this workstation was already installed 3rd party software, called "Pharos".  Apparently, this software was redirecting the default print processors and was clearly not compatible with Windows 7, although the installation of Win 7 never mentioned a problem of compatibility.  Once this software has been removed, and all the remains erased from the registry, there is now no problems with printers or print spooler.

    In the future, it would be useful that Microsoft has actually provided certain types of useful information when these accidents occur.  Cryptic error numbers and unnecessary event log entries did not provide useful clues.

  • ESXi host does not connect more after a restart of the service LogInsight

    Hello

    I put several (5.1 U1) ESXi to use the newly installed LogInsight. they sent him their event properly. I had to restart the log service Insight. After the reboot, the hosts stopped sending events. the vcenter continued, however.

    I had to reload the syslog on the hosts to send their event to the perspicacity of newspaper.

    esxcli system syslog reload

    any idea? I guess that's not normal behavior

    Thank you

    Eric

    Hi Eric, this is unfortunately expected behavior. What you are experiencing is a bug in ESXi. More information is available in the Guide to installation/Admin under the troubleshooting log Insight section or at the following article: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2003127.

    ESXi newspapers stop arriving at the Insight Journal

    After you restart the log service Insight, ESXi hosts syslog messages stop arriving at the Insight Journal.

    Problem

    In Insight Journal configuration changes require that you restart the log Insight service. After the restart, syslog RSS of ESXi are no longer available.

    Cause

    Some versions of ESXi stop balls sending if connectivity to the remote syslog listener is stopped, even for a short moment. This problem affects the following versions of ESXi, depending on the communication protocol used.

  • ESXi 5 managing network not automatically start after reboot, or when the output of the mode standby

    vSphere 5.

    ESXi5.

    HI all 5 ESXi installed on HP BL460c G7. HP C7000 Enclouser system connected to the NAC (switch HP series A5800) via the Module HP FlexFabric 10 Gbs. The server has 6 vmcins:

    (1) management network - 2 NIC (1 GB per nic)

    (2) vMotion Network - 2 NIC (1 GB per nic)

    (3) Vitual Machine networks - 2 NIC (2 GB per nic)

    (4) zFCP - 2 network cards (6 GB per nic)

    After you restart or when the output of the mode standby, the management network starts does not automatically, you need to restart manually from the console directly. Hypervisor ISO downloaded directly from the vmware Download Center and all the recommended HP drivers downloaded and installed from HP Download Center.

    OK, another thing you could try is this change that HP recommended for my situation. The CLI performs: esxcfg-module - s "heap_max = 20971520" be2net

    and reboot. The memory default chunk size is not large enough and will change to this size in the next version of the driver.

    Also, have you tried yet 5.0 U1? There are a lot of bugs in U1.
