might have been some settings in SFC scan that were updated, but reinstalling the spooler definitely cured the problem, printers are there again now

Vista home premium with an HP 8600 Plus printer via wifi or lan.<br />
<br />
installs and prints fine, reboot the machine and there are no printers in control panel printers at all.<br />
<br />
done some digging, spooler is running, done a uninstall with HP scrubber and reinstalled latest version (as admin) exactly the same.<br />
<br />
other machines in the network work fine so its not the printer<br />
<br />
read about a service called HP CUE Discovery which can cause these issues, but i dont have that services at all listed.<br />
<br />
any ideas

HP Printer on vista home premium disappears on reboot

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
