How to Repair the Add Printer Wizard in Windows XP

The Add Printer Wizard is a fundamental part of the Windows XP operating system that allows you to quickly and efficiently configure new printers to work with your computer. While the Add Printer Wizard normally works flawlessly, the files for the wizard can become corrupted over time or with the introduction of a virus or malware onto your system. The only viable solution is to perform a full repair reinstallation of your operating system.
