I Took My laptop over to my friend's house The other day, and needed to print a document to give to him. I was connected to his wifi, and he has a wifi capable printer. I went to the "Network" Folder and clicked on his printer. Windows 7 automatically installed the driver, it worked flawlessly. Later After I went Home, I decided to remove the printer, since that was a one time event. I went to remove the device from devices and printers, and after I removed the device, I refreshed the list, and it reappears!

It's Not In The Device Manager However My Printer Is.

The Photosmart is mine, the OfficeJet Is His.

Is There Something Else I Can Try?

This Bugs Me That I Cant Remove It.

Thanks In Advance,

Andrew B

I Haven't Attached Anything on here before. I Hope I Did it right.
