I lose network printers after a restart

I am running Build 5600. I can install shared printers from my office
network, but after a restart the fail to print. They show up in the printers
file but fail to initialize. This has been going on for days and is driving
me nuts. We have one network printer that is on a print server in another
state. It is a 10.14.0.12 address on the network. I can seei t from my XP
machine, but not the Vista one.Our local IP"S are all 10.15..... Would that
limit Vistas ability to see it on a private network?
Help please!!!

RE: I lose network printers after a restart

This seems to be common for USB network printers, but mine now works with RC2
build 5744 on the client PC and RC1 on the machine with the printer.
