Vista - Shared Printer Fails After Reboot

I have 3 Vista Premium SP1 PCs (32 bit) and one has an HP PSC 950 printer connected via USB. I have shared this printer (password protected). I can add the printer as a network printer to the other 2 PCs and they are able to print to the printer. However, on both of the other 2 PCs, after a reboot, they can no longer print to the printer. The printer continues to display in the Printers panel and print jobs go to the queue, but they never print (an error displays after several minutes). If I delete the printer and then add it again, printing will work (until the next restart).

All 3 printers have NAV 2008, but I have disabled on all 3 for testing and the problem continues to occur.

Also, file sharing is also enabled and continues to work even after reboots.


Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Matt

Hey Matt have you tried without the password?

Yes, I did try allowing sharing without a password. The behavior was the same; I could initially print but not after a reboot.

I have had this problem before but only on one computer at a time, I solved the problem by setting the printer up again,
