Network Printer persistence Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 9:16 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jim Gurley (16 messages posted) I have a small domain network with one W2K legacy due to one specific application that I can't update to XP. This machine is also "stand alone" (no network connection) most of the time. It's on a cart, and when a print needs to be done, it's wheeled across the room and plugged into the network. The machine never "remembers" its network printer across rebooting. The user has to either "add a new printer" or use Windows Explorer to browse for the remote XP computer's printer and right click "connect". The user is a Luddite, so the process is pretty onerous. I tried a wireless dongle, but it didn't work very reliably. Isn't there a way to define the printer as permanent?
