Your mileage may vary depending on the devices you have installed and connected to your Windows 7 computer. Since Microsoft has no special icon for the Z Cinema sound system, it used its best guess. Notice above that the Logitech Z Cinema sound system icon shows up as a keyboard instead of a speaker or other relevant picture. Only icons for which Microsoft has a special icon in its database will show up here.
There is one caveat to using these icons, however. If you like these icons, go ahead and click that option, then click Save Changes, and the icons will soon change to match the specific devices attached to your computer. Notice the same thing for the SideWinder X6 Keyboard and the Brother HL-1440 printer. This cosmetic change will give you pretty icons instead of the default generic ones.įor example, notice in the image above that the generic icon for the Logitech Gaming Mouse G500 has been replaced with an icon depicting the actual product. You may have noticed that there was a choice on that last window to Replace Generic Device Icons With Enhanced Icons. When you make your choice, click the Save Changes button and you are done.

The last option is the most conservative and the one you should choose if you want to stop Windows 7 from automatically downloading and installing drivers or if you always want to manually install drivers yourself.
#BROTHER HL 1440 DRIVER WINDOWS 7 UPDATE#
The second option is a bit more conservative in that Windows 7 will first use any local drivers on your computer before going to Windows Update to search for, download, and install a driver.

Choose this option if you want Windows to go to Windows Update and download and install a driver whenever a new device is detected or when an updated driver is found for hardware on your PC. The first option gives Windows 7 permission to always install the best driver from Windows Update. Now you have three options from which to choose. Select the option labeled No, Let Me Choose What To Do and several more options become available. In this window, you will notice that there are two choices.

What a pain - you would think some sort of hardware ID would be used rather than a string value to identify a hardware device. It's up to you which side you edit, but I was hesitant to mess with Windows 7 system files. You could also duplicate the line in the Windows 7 file and edit the copy so it matches the name on the XP box. Now that the names match I can use the Add Printer wizard to add the driver and all is well. I then updated the driver on the XP machine to use the new name. I edited the XP inf file in notepad and duplicated the line for "Brother HL-1440 series" and renamed the printer to "Brother HL-1440" so it looked like this: The XP machine defines the printer as "Brother HL-1440 series" while the Windows 7 name defines it as "Brother HL-1440". The name in that file is: "Brother HL-1440" = MS_BRH1440U.GPD,BROTHERHL-1440_SERIE0BD1,Brother_HL-1440_USB,Brother_HL-1440 Hardware ID I selected HL-1440 in the list, clicked the Search Inf button, then selected the file named C:\Windows\INF\oem21.inf and clicked View. I downloaded the Brother HL-1440 uninstall tool and ran it on the Windows 7 side. Now I needed to see what Windows 7 was trying to use. "Brother HL-1450 series" = BROHL145.PPD,LPTENUM\BrotherHL-1450_serie9BDC,BrotherHL-1450_serie9BDC I looked in that file and saw the following list: That name is defined in the printer driver inf file on the target computer. Start/Printers and Faxes/select printer/right-click/properties/Advanced
You can see the name by going to the XP box and looking at the driver name on the Advanced tab for the Printer properties dialog:
The printer named "Brother HL-1440 series" is what Windows 7 sees when it locates the printer on the network. It's not hard to fix and this may not seem intuitive at first, but here is the solution: There is a mismatch between the printer name in the Windows 7 inf file and the one on the XP computer on which the printer is installed.
