I've just reinstalled my windows 98 software. I have a HP672C printer. I downloaded the latest driver from HP and setup the printer in windows. I've tested the printer and it works OK. My problem is everytime I reboot my computer, WIndows says it has found new hardware and tries to look for the driver for this printer. I point it to the correct driver and it says its not the correct one and I finally have to cancel and finish the boot. Before I reinstalled 98, this printer worked fine on this same computer. I did not have this problem. Any ideas?

Does the printer still work? How many printers do you have showing under "Printers" in "My Computer"? Usually after 3 or 4 "nags" about drivers for new hardware, Win98 will stop asking. Has this happened yet?

I only have 1 printer set up. The printer still works. I've rebooted probaly a dozen times and it still asks for the driver.

When you say "I only have one printer set up" are you referring to physical printers or printers listed ? ( Start - Settings - Printers ) More than one printer listed can cause it. If you have more than one listed delete one of them or both and start over.

I only have one physically attatched and only one in the printers folder. One thing I should add is this is a dual boot PC with W2K on the other partition. The same printer is set up for W2K and works fine there. That shouldn't make a difference but you never know.
