Hi Darrell,
I'm afraid you're right: there _is_ something wrong in the Registry. Here's
what I'm getting(no "connections" entry):
--------------------------------------------------------
Key Name: HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Printers
Class Name: <NO CLASS>
Last Write Time: 11/2/2006 - 9:04 AM
Key Name: HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Printers\DevModePerUser
Class Name: <NO CLASS>

----------------------------------------------------------------
The interesting part about it is that even the second 'wireless' notebook
(#2) on the home network has the same entry, even though I didn't dare make
any changes in it.
I did screw around with notebook's #1 registry to the point where it became
necessary to use the recovery CD to start from scratch. This is why I was
unpleasantly surprised that I'm still having the same error messages as
before the reformat.
Originally I was blaming my problems on the fact that I have installed
Samsung printer program (later uninstalled), but now?
This raises one important theoretical question: can the computer "A" where
the USB Samsung printer is attached, actually change Registry values on
wireless notebooks?
