Network printing
I have a user who is attached to several networked
printers, each at a different remote branch. Whenever he reboots he will lose the ability to print at one of the printers. For example, he has printers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. He boots up and finds he can't print to #5. Next reboot he can now print to #5, but now can't print to #3. Reboot, can print to #3, but not #4. The error message reads: Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup. Try one or more of the following: * Check the printer by printing a test page from Windows. * Make sure the printer is turned on and online. * Reinstall the printer driver Others, locally and remotely, are able to print to the printer in question. Thanks,

Is he also connected to other PCs? If so he's possibly hitting the 10
simultaneous limitation in XP Pro or 5 in XP Home. -- Cari (MS-MVP Windows Client - Printing, Imaging & Hardware) www.coribright.com "bonehead" wrote in message ...

How can I set up a network printer so it is incorporated into all EXISTING profiles? Right now we have to log on as the individual in order to set up a networked printer. Is there a better way? Thank you. Chris

Cari, tell me more.
We are on a WAN with 150 other PCs, several BDCs and a PDC (nt4 sp6). At his local branch there are 10+ other PCs and a BDC. Only one of the 6 printers he connects to is NOT shared off a server. -----Original Message----- Is he also connected to other PCs?
