I'm using XP SP3 and a Samsung ML-2850 printer. I updated my computer recently. The
printer won't work. I won't receive any data from the computer. Is it possible that any
of the updates interfered with the printer? These are the updates I installed:

938464 -- GDI
946648 -- Messenger 4.7
950974 -- Event System
951066 -- OE
952287 -- MDAC
952954 -- Color Management
954211 -- Kernel
954430 -- XML 4 SP2
954459 -- XML 6
955069 -- XML 3
955839 -- DST
956802 -- GDI
956803 -- Ancillary Function Driver
956841
957097
958215 -- IE Cumulative
958644 -- Net API
958687
960714 -- Fix for IE Cumulative
960715 -- ActiveX Killbits
960714 -- WMF Runtime
960715 -- WMP 6.4

That's like a needle in the haystack.

Better off downloading the latest drivers, remove the old one and install
the new one. Can also try another USB port to see if the printer is detected.
