I have a HP R80XI multi-function color printer/scanner/copier and ever since I ungraded my PC to WIN XP (w SP2), I have problems with the OS loosing communication with it when I power it off but leave the PC running (both printing and scanning). Rebooting the system reconnects both functions but it is a real pain in the @#$ to have to re-boot everytime I want to print or scan.

When I check for new drivers, I am told that everything I need is built into WIN XP. I have contacted HP Customer Care and they are really no help. From what I can determine, WIN XP does not load all the entries into the registry correctly.

Couple of questions:

1. Does any one else have this problem with the R80?
2. Any idea what entries should be in the regsitry for the printer and scanner?
3. Any body know of any new drivers for the R80?
