Printer Installed, but not visible
First and foremost, this thread is very similar to one below, but I figured it was probably better to post a new topic rather than reviving a thread from 2010. (Which I already posted to without realizing the date on it)
Okay, so I've got a problem where we installed an HP LaserJet 6P on our HP dx2450 that is running 32-bit Windows 7 Professional. When I connected the printer, it did not appear in devices and printers, but it showed up in device manager under other devices. I went ahead and installed the driver that is available to me (Through catalog.update.microsoft.com).
The printer installed successfully, according to the window, but it did not show up in Devices and Printers.
The printer shows up in the print context menus, as well as in the print management program.
The printer disappears occasionally upon reboot, and reinstalling it appears to work, but we get the same results as before.
Any help with this issue would be appreciated. While the printer showing up in devices and printers isn't necessary, it would be nice.
