XP tries to install a printer every time I boot...

The printer is already installed or working, what should I do to stop this behavior? Thanks.

I don't know, but, everytime I remote desktop to my PC a lexmark dialogue comes up asking if I accept the license agreement and then wants to reinstall. It's something in the spooler they modified because that's the only printer that does it and there are no startup tasks,etc that I could find.

I suggest unisntalling and disconnecting printer, running any cleanup utils if there are any (HP has some) and then reboot. Then run through the install per the manuf. instructions.
