I need to get a printer driver for xp pro. Somehow we uninstalled it
and now the new hardware wiz says can't find the driver for this device
even though we are installing the printer from a cd. Thanks in advance

What printer? Uninstalled what - the printer or the driver? What happens
when you install from cd? Any error messages? And finally - the first
place to look for drivers and tech support for a device is on the
device mftr.'s website; i.e., the printer mftr.'s website for your
specific model printer.

Go to the printer makers website and download the drivers for your
model. Then install them.

If it's a CD that came with the printer and it pops up a screen when you
install it then use the "Install Driver" option from there and ignore the
Windows "Found new Hardware" Wizard.

In any case the driver has probably been updated to find the printer
manufacturer's website and look for a driver package from there... it's
usually found under their "Support" menu, but since you don't mention the
printer make and model we can't help with the site details.
