 How to prevent printers from automatically installing on domain computer
Network printing, Printers, SBS 2003
I have a netwrok running SBS 2003 R2. One of the computers on the network is running a software program that had conflicts with one of the printers shared on the network from the server. How can I prevent this network printer from being installed on this specific machine automatically at login. I have un-checked the "automatically check for network folders and printers" box, however when I log in to the machine it still re-installs the network printer.
