I have 10 HP printers on my network (5si, 4000, 4050,etc) and for some reason, users are saying that their default printer is being lost. I've tried everything to do with profiles, ie set to local, delete and recreate, etc, and still no joy. I have the printers set up as network printers, however, there are a lot of users that have local printer ports set up. Also, the network printers are set up with hp jetdirect ports, and the local printer ports are either set up as HP Standard TCP/IP ports or Standard TCP/IP ports. The only thing I can think of is that for some reason the printer gateway address is changing, causing users to lose their printers, but I can't be sure. I've removed all network printers and I'm starting to set users up with local HP Standard TCP/IP ports, plus I'm setting the printer gateway settings to the printer IP address. Can anyone help me out if this does not sort the problem. This problem happens on Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows NT4 machines so it can't be O/S specific.
