Hello Cari
Thanks for all your input. I did finally find the drivers tab, which lists
my printer as well as things like pdf writer and One Note. But after I
uninstalled my printer, the 'remove' option was greyed out for each function
so I could not touch them. I didn't use Add/Remove to uninstall, but rather
downloaded a patch that I was told would completely remove my printer
software. Then I downloaded vista drivers and reinstalled. Now printer is
working fine, but I don't know for how long as I've gone thru this procedure
before and the problem returned.
Come to think of it, I think the printer and fax were no longer listed in
the drivers tab after I uninstalled with the patch. Also, I think the driver
I downloaded was a newer version. So here's hoping ....
