227114 2004-04-04 08:34:00 I run a laptop - OS ME with PIII 800.

After 3 years of using an entry level printer I have just installed an HP Photosmart printer - works great! But.....
1. Unlike my previous printer it installs as Removable Disc E. When I have connected my digital camera previously it has also been Removable Disc E. Consequently, the path to my CD RW has been E: File name etc. How can I change the printer to something permanent other than E so the file path is preserved?

2. I have been hibernating the laptop during the day each time I finish using it. No problem. Since I've installed the printer when I select Hibernation a pop-up box says that ' Photosmart printer cannot enter into a low power state'. ( Bossy hardware!) Help says maybe 'susfail.txt' can help, but the resultant Notepad .txt file merely confirms that it won't Suspend or Hibernate. I can get around this by going to battery power and then selecting Hibernate....but is there any work-around for this?

Thanks.
