Have a HP Laserjet 6P connected through USB to my IBM T500 Laptop, Win XP.

If I disconnect the printer, shut laptop, start laptop and reconnect printer, the printer reinstalls - this time as HP Laserjet 6P (1). Next time it will install as HP Laserjet 6P (2), the other two installs still present. Any ideas? Thanks, Bo

  • I even don't know IBM ever released T63, that's why I was asking, I thought IBM changed to T400/T500 after T61?

  • Right, it's actually a T500. To my defence this is my fathers.. How about taking a crack at this VERY annoying printer problem :)

So this is what I found out: The T500 has 3 USB ports. If you disconnect the the printer you must use the same USB port when reconnecting. Otherwise it will reinstall as per the question above.
