Hi Guru's,

I have one issue on network printer, my LaserJet printer is installed in windows 2003 server and it was shared.

I'm tried to access that printer from other PC but in the same network only.

First time its works when I add that printer, by this steps :
(Add Printer -> A Network Printer, or printer attached to another computer -> Connect to this printer : \\system name\printer name -> Finished)

After restarting the system, I'm unable to access the printer, once again I have re-configure the printer. Then only I'm able to access the printer. This happens every restarting the system.

Could anyone give some solution for this issue.

Thanks

Karan

Karan,

I see that your issue is from a long time ago. But if you are still looking for a solution...

If your printer is connected directly to the network via a network cable, obtain the IP address for the printer or assign one to it.
Then install the printer using the Wizard but rather than browsing to the printer on the network, designate it with the IP address.
This should resolve your issue of having to re-configure whenever you restart.

I load it with an IP address... Here the corker, we have 1500 agents and the vast majority have to reload their network printers everytime they go to the office.

we have tried everything from loading it as a defalt to keeping the password to not but without fail we have to reload them.

we have gone through the few that retain them and connot find sny discrepancies with them.

Please assist. The hairline needs of the many outway the needs of the few or the one!
