DgiVecp Service - What Is This? Please Help.

Hi,

Each time the server (running Windows Small Business Server 2003) is
restarted, I see this error:

"One or more services failed to start."

In the System Event Log, I regularly see the following error:

"The DgiVecp service failed to start due to the following error: The
system cannot find the device specified."

This is Event ID 7000 and the source is Service Control Manager. On
doing a search for DgiVecp, I find it in the following three
locations:

C:\Windows\system32\drivers\dgivecp.sys
C:\Windows\Samsung\CLP-510\Data\dgivecp.sys
C:\Windows\Samsung\CLP-510\GDI\Data\dgivecp.sys

I have looked at Administrative Tools --> Services but the service in
question is not listed there at all which in itself is confusing. I
have looked in the registry in (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM
\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES) and 'Start' is already set to 0x2 which I
believe is 'Automatic' start up.

So...it looks like it has to do with my Samsung printer (which is
elsewhere on the network and not directly connected) but what on earth
can I do to resolve this? I have no idea what's going on.

Any advice / suggestions much appreciated. I can provide more
information if you need it. If I'm posting in the wrong place, please
could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Do you need this printer installed on the server? I'd strongly recommend
removing it, if not.

If the printer previously was directly connected to the server, but is now
across the network, I'd recommend uninstalling it, and checking Samsung's
support site to see if there is a separate driver package for a networked
connection--ideally one whql'd for Server 2003.

Even just uninstalling and then reinstalling might take care of this.

As to posting location--I think there are newsgroups related to printing
issues on Server OS versions--and that'd probably be appropriate.
