HP DCS Device Host has stopped working

[Tim]

Hi there,

Vista Ultimate and HO 2550L loaded HP's Easy Printer Care for Vista and keep
getting the following message HP DCS Device Host has stopped working.

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly Windows will close
the program and notify you if a solution is available.

Any ideas what is causing this and a fix?

Many thanks, Tim.

Re install you hp drivers then goto computer management services. Scroll
down to "HP CUE DeviceDiscovery Service" and disable it.

Hi there,

Thought your suggestion was going to solve it so reinstalled the HP
Universal Printing PCL 6 drivers but there is no HP Cue DeviceDiscovery
Service in Computer Management/Services and Applications/Service or am I
doing something wrong here?

Should I have uninstalled HP Easy Printer Care mind you if I did then HP DCS
would not run?

Many thanks for your help, Tim.
