How stop printer auto search?
How can I stop XP in a workgroup from automatically adding every
printer on the network, whether it is shared or not, to the list of printers. For example, the Fax printer on my PC shows up in the list of printers on other XP machines on the network. 1) Is there a way to configure XP so that only shared printers will be automatically added? 2) Is there a way to configure XP so that no printers will be automatically added. -- ..Bill. |
