re: Printer Drivers Disappearing Tuesday, January 25, 2005 at 6:03 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ann (4 messages posted) I'm on a t-1 and I download and install of of the updates as soon as they are available. This computer is too old to be eligable for an XP upgrade so I need to fix whatever takes the printer and scanner drivers away. The Acrobat distiller also disappears and reappears along with the printer and scanner drivers. I've never had this happen on any other computer, running Win2000 or not! Do you think that printing directly to the printer and not spooling would work? But then what about the scanner drivers? Thank you to everyone who has offered suggestions.
