I have installed the drivers fo my Epson480 sxu. But every time I boot up, XP keeps telling me it has found new hardware and that the printer needs to be installed? How can I get rid of this ?

Let it attempt to install the drivers and when it goes looking for the files, point it to the location of the ones that are already installed - some will be in the system32 subdirectory under your windows directory, some in a subdirectory under that. It's only looking for a few files. Once it installs those, you won't get the message again. I had the same problem with my HP printer.

Yep Bozo 1 is right,I had this happen to me,so all you do is point to the drivers again(in my case on the CD) and after that it won`t ask anymore.
