Hi all-
I have 300+ computers on my network all of witch us GPO and log-on scripts. 2 of them will not hold the default printer. 1 of the 2 will set the default printer back to the local printer after every log-on and the other one will set it to the same network printer after every log-on. I have tried ever thing i can thing of and every thing i can find on the grate IT helper "google". Some of the things I have tried are as followed, changing the registry for the default print, reinstalling the printer, and i even reinstalled xp, also tried searching for the file HPOTDD01.EXE and deleting that, and a couple of other things. I have not tried setting the default printer with the log-on script or GPO because the network admin dose not want to.

Any help would be great and very appreciated.
Thanks much

If this is happening after every log on, there has to be a GPO setting controlling it. There really is nothing you can do at the local machine to override GPO settings.
