Whenever we print, we miss the printer on the system tray. Is there any setting to get this icon there? In Windows 98 it uses to come automatically every time we printed.
 
You might have to check that you have the latest updated XP drivers for your printer to get it to appear in the Notification Area. You could check to see if it is selected to be always hidden in the Task Bar properties under the Hide Inactive Icons setting.

If you select the File menu in Printer and Faxes, and then select Server Properties, then Advanced. You have the following that you can select.

Show informational notifications for local printers.

This displays the status of print jobs in a pop-up window, when printing to a stand-alone network printer or to a printer attached directly to your computer. This pop-up window appears near the Notification Area of the user who sent the print job.

This pop up appears immeadiately above the missing printer icon, selecting it MAY (???) give you a printer icon.

 
Can't find desktop icon in the quick launch. I need to put this icon on th task bar.

Thanks
