RE: Windows Validation - 2 different things can occur here:

  1. You just need to re-validate Windows - happens all the time - many people feel that the message makes them feel like a crook!

  2. M$ had a massive corruption on their license server database. I have seen many codes, Office, Windows XP, Windows 7 licenses that are genuine, that M$ says are not valid. I have seen it occur after years of service on HP Enterprise grade notebooks, that I activated years ago for my clients, that are now invalid. So, M$ does not always know what is a real code, and what is not a real code!

I would remove that printer driver, and reload that printer driver. That handles the situation over 90% of the time.
