Printer disappears on reboot

[BigDaddy]

Hello all

I have a HP Photosmart D5160. But the problem is that when I reboot Windows XP the printer disappears from "Printers and Faxes" and thus I must reinstall the drivers at every reboot.

Print Spooler service is set to Automatic in does start on every reboot.

I tried latest drivers from HP and even the drivers from Windows Update still the same problem.

ps. This issue has started to occur when I did some tampering with the registry

Really hope we can fix this issue.

Regards,
