    How many printers does my WIN.INI show?

    Some time back when installing my printer the install was interupted and reinstalled. I deleted one, but does my Win.ini show multiple printers?
    ***** Denotes what looks to me as multiple
    entries. Of course i could be wrong.
    Also does it need to be listed under [windows]...device= ?
    Does the following look correct?
    Thanks for taking a look...

    [windows]
    load=
    NullPort=None
    device=HP DeskJet 810C Series Printer,HPFDJC11,LPT1:

    [Devices]
    QuickLink III=QL,FAX:
    HP DeskJet 810C Series Printer=HPFDJC11,LPT1:


    [PrinterPorts]
    QuickLink III=QL,FAX:,15,45
    HP DeskJet 810C Series Printer=HPFDJC11,LPT1:,15,45

    Since every body seems to be busy at the mo, i would do this save curent win.ini as win.bad then delete the lines that worry you then save as win.ini. then restart windows,test your printer if it still works ok then you can delete your old file we named win.bad. If printer don't work or something else bad happens just rename the win.bad back to win.ini and replace the bad file.
