| No Manufacturers list in Add Rprinter wizard In attempting to install a HP Photosmart 7660 as HP directs, I do not get a list of manufacturers from the Add Local Printer wizard (after picking printer on LPT1 as HP directs). Shouldn't I get a long list of manufacturers and printers? What's wrong? TIA Bob L. |

| Re: No Manufacturers list in Add Rprinter wizard It's a bug, you need an updated setupapi.dll file contained in this QFE. This will fix the issue when the printer manufacturer model page only contains a few models. I think another symptom is the USB device will not automatically install inbox drivers.
