Heard Back From SAS Labs...

2 files(of 3) "Clean" "no malicious content.
1 file "False Positive" no malicious content.
Not sure the difference but either way works for me!! Just F.Y.I.
Thanks again! Sandy

Thanks for letting us know 
I don't think they will be restored at boot.

Operational drivers are in the windows-folders, so my guess is this are just install or setup files.
Rename them to something not scanned. My preference: change "exe" in "noexe" or in "exe.not". You might get a warning about changing extensions or filetypes, but that's OK.
If you still can print immediately after the rename, and also after a reboot, it's OK. If not, rename them back.
It's a poor men's way of excluding (unused!) files from a scan if for some reason it can't be done via the official way.

Thanks Mucho For The Tip, Kees!

Useful thing to know. I don't actually have a printer attached to this
(current old printer uses large connector- NOT USB- which laptop doesn't
accept--gotta fix my desktop!). Yes they're HP setup files for Desk-jet printers rather than MS but they were also native to XP Pro & included in that OS). Still, if they're still in the next scan, I'll use your tip. Thanks again! Sandy
