questioner1

I keepfinding two printers that I cant install as I dont know what they
can be. Have two printers in already. However at each boot up discovers two
new printers. So I have to cancel them each boot time. A bit annoying but not
overtaxing. I did try removing all the installed printers. Had no effect.

Have also twice done a windows repair using the xp-pr sp2 disc. No
improvement.

Has any on any ideas on how to remove these two discovered printers at each
boot up.

Just a thought.. install the printers, then go to the Printers control
panel and remove them.
 
What names are these printers given?

You can get items like Microsoft Document Writer showing up as a
printer.

Also many PDF writing programs show up as printers.
