Hi,<br />
<br />
Another thing you may need to check - <br />
Check if there is any 'autorun.inf' in the root of C; it may have a reference to your HP printer.<br />
Please post content of the same if it is there.<br />
<br />
Lets hope this nails the bugger!

Hi,<br />
<br />
Also, try this go to start and type 'regedit' press F3 and search for HPLJP1000_1500<br />
Review what you find and if any of the results look like the name of the drive, try changing the name on there.<br />
<br />
** Before you make any changes to the registry it is advisable to set a restore point and make a backup of the registry - Go to File &gt;&nbsp;Export in regedit and change the range to 'All' at the bottom of the save dialog **<br />
