In XP when you set the start menu to classic, you recieve the option for Search>> then Find Printers >> Files documents etc.

However in Windows 7 I am unable to find this option, does it even exist - finding it hard to believe that Microsoft removed such a helpful feature for the corporate enviroment.

Thanks in advance

If you click the start button and select 'Devices & Printers' you'll find all you need there. Microsoft obviously saw that searching for printers was an unnecessary option so now all your devices & printers shown in 1 screen.

Hope this helps :)

An addition to this question, is there anyway of cutting all the dumb menus from windows 7 printer search so it goes to the "find printer" dialog box, like XP.
