Printer Trouble

[rootbear75]

I have a HP Laserjet 1020.

 

For some reason when i plug it into a different USB port than i originally plugged it in on, it made a copy. I have tried to get rid of these copies for a while, and it just says Error: Deleting printer.

 

And they never delete. So now when i try to re-add it manually, it doesnt work either.

I don't know what else to do.

Problem: Vista.

 

"mysty on mysty" o.O?

 

Have you restarted windows? Maybe run as admin?

 

I have alot of stupid problems like that with vista :<

Try to delete the ports first. Did you try that?

Yeah, you have 4 copies of the same printer... clean this up a bit

Mysty is our bird's name. stepmother named the computer after the bird... stupid imo

So delete USB001-004?

i saw the place to delete it yesterday when i was messing around trying to figure it out, now i cant find the window.

I know, i tried. FInally found out why. Apparently the print queue's had never been fully deleted.

As soon as i did that, they deleted right off.

should i try adding it again by plugging it in?

Strangely it works now. After deleting ALL copies of the printer (Including the original) i plugged it back in, it installed drivers, and works.. dont know what the !@#$%^&* happened :/

It was probably confused or something. Something was conflicting.
