    Printing Issues

    I just added a Vista to my SBS network, however what I notice that when I
    login with my user name, i see my default printer change from my network
    printer to another printer. However, when I go into the control panel and
    get into the printer........and change the default printer back to the
    network printer. Once i restart my coimputer and log back in, I go to the
    control panel >> printer and my printer has been reset from my network
    printer to another printer.

    Even if i delete my microsoft XPS document writer it seems as if it will
    revert to any printer but the one i want.

    That's perfectly normal, Windows will default to the first printer it finds.

    How can I get this default printer to stay locked with my network printer.
    Its such an issue trying to change the printer each time a user logs in and
    out.
