| 259660 | 2004-08-08 11:14:00 | Everytime I plug in my Brother HL1430 into my Acer laptop I always get the new hardware found dialog box. I am connecting with a USB cable and use Windows XP any suggestions? | Billy B (5997) | ||
| 259661 | 2004-08-08 11:21:00 | um . . . . would you rather it ignored it? It has to recorgnise it and then assign the driver to it so you can use it,all usb devices cause the same reaction . Or are you saying it fails to load the driver and requires manual intervention? |

| 259662 | 2004-08-08 11:23:00 | Unless you have a very mysterious XP, it will detect new hardware when you install / connect it. It doesn't always work,(that's why it is called plug and pray,) but it seems to be working fine in your case. It won't be doing a full install (hopefully), more of of an enabling process. R2 |
