Network Printer Not Re-established

by captbilly1eye . Updated 19 years, 6 months ago

I recently started a new position and inherited a problem that has me baffled. The 2003 server network comprised of Windows XP Home workstations has an on-going problem with the one printer used. (yea, I know… XP Home… why? – no clue).
The problem is that the network printer will not work from any workstation until it is removed and then reinstalled on that workstation.
The feeling is that this issue will be resolved when we migrate to Vista in the coming months but I can’t help but think there is something that can be done meanwhile.
Would a script that runs at boot that re-establishes the port work? If so, does anyone know what that script would be and how to set it up?
Any help to resolve this annoyance would be greatly appreciated!
