After reformatting my XP, I reinstalled my printer and every time I try to use it, it says "Device is Busy Try again later". I'm sure this is because somewhere within my OS, it's allowing it to be a "shared printer" as it did before the reformat. I have unchecked all the areas which allow print sharing, but it hasn't corrected the problem. It's never used over a network.
Before the reformatting, I corrected this problem by doing a regedit and adding a key with a form of-print$/delete, or something close to this. Unconsious of the future need of this path, I didn't take note of it. I'm hoping someone can tell me what this "EXACT" key path, name and value to be added, needs to be. I do remember that it begins in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
