I recently installed a Lexmark X5270 printer/scanner/copier. It works fine, but whenever I try and reboot, my computer will freeze on the screen that says "HP Invent". After troubleshooting, I unplugged the printer and rebooted, and it started up with no problem.
Obviously, I don't want to have to unplug my printer every time I reboot. What could be causing this?
Windows XP home ed.
HP a300n
