for my sins I have to endure Vista! My son loaded Google Chrome some time ago and since then, despite uninstalling it, my printer has never recovered - it re-loads the software on every boot (otherwise it won't print) at best it's periodic in it's operating and it never scanns or copies anymore!!!!!!!!!!! Any ideas?

Your printer loads the software? A printer is just that, a printer it shouldn't be loading anything. I don't believe it has the capability to load software. Are you certain this is what is actually loading the software?
IF the software IS loading again this means it is still on the computer and not uninstalled.
How did you uninstall it?
