We are on Windows server 2003, all out clients run windows XP pro. Some of our user once they log off and restart their machines, their printer disappear, so we have to map it again. Any ideas what can be the problem?

Thanks in advance

Is there somthing in place that makes the individual user accounts reset after they log out? It should be isolated to each account or computer. Have a user that doesnt experience the issue log on to a problem machine and see if they lose their printers.

on those machines is not starting automaically on restart
check the print spooler is on automatic in the services list
Start>Run>services.msc

Set the Network Printer in the "Printer & Faxes" on the clients after sharing the printer from the server with required permission to user to print. If you are mapping printers using the "net use" then append the "/persistent:yes" switch in the command.
