Unable to add printer.

by saihib . Updated 22 years ago

I’m running XP Pro on an Athlon XP box. The computer is connected to a LAN but is not a member of the domain. I have access to network resources though I always have to supply a username and password to get it. Recently,in Start/Settings/Printers and Faxes, all my installed printers disappeared. The funny thing is that I can still print to the printer that had previously been designated as the default printer. What’s pissing me off is that I am unable to add new printers. In Printers and Faxes, when I click Add Printer, nothing happens. No error messages, nothing. The wizard just does not run. I feel I need to mention that I just added a Canopus DVStorm2 capture card to my machine and the software that came with it has slowed my bootup time somewhat. Other than that nothing else has changed. Since it has been some time since I tried to add a new printer I’m not sure if the new software is the culprit. Microsoft’s KB has been close, but no cigar. Anyone got a thought?
