Network printer address
How can I get the Vista machine to consistently recognize the network printer
at startup like its two XP brothers always do? I can always add the network printer to the Vista machine after startup by going through the "add a printer" dialog. When the machine reboots the "new" printer most often shows up as "offline". I've just replaced the network router with no effect on this (no better, no worse).

Hi
Give the Printer a static IP that is out of the range of the DHCP., Jack (MVP-Networking). "EncorePS" wrote in message ...

Network printer address
This is a known problem in Vista. Here are several items to try.
1. Turn off SNMP on the printer port properties and see if that helps. See http://help.lockergnome.com/vista/Vi...pict33540.html 2. Request the hot fix described in http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=934455 at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=934455 OR install Vista SP1 which includes it. -- "EncorePS" wrote in message ...

I disabled SNMP for the port. Five reboots later, the printer is there every
time. Thank you. "GTS" wrote: This is a known problem in Vista. Here are several items to try. 1. Turn off SNMP on the printer port properties and see if that helps.
