Windows VISTA and HP Officejet all in one 5610 driver unloads

Ihave a HP officejet 5610 all in one printer etc. I retrieved the VISTA
drivers from the HP web site. The drivers load fine but if I turn the printer
off , VISTA unloads the drivers and when I plug it back in the drivers do not
reload even with a reboot. I have to uninstall the drivers and support
software and reinstall them which takes about an hour. Is there a patch to
stop this or any suggestinns?

Don't turn the printer off. I'm not saying this to be snarky, but
Windows has always had problems finding printers if you turn them off.
There is no reason to turn the printer off. This issue can also arise if
you plug a USB device into a port that is different from the one it was
connected to when you installed the device. Better just not to turn the
printer off!
