We have a bunch of laptop computers that we travel around with and connect to HP 3420 USB inkjet printers fixed at different locations. The problem is that the laptops only work with the first 3420 printer they connect to after the driver is installed. As soon as we move to a new location(which happens daily) we connect to another 3420 and have to uninstall and reinstall the driver. Is there anyway we can fix our systems so we don't have to do this?? I take it the printer records some uinque number for it's self in the registry? We really need to be able to move our laptops to any 3420 printer and not have to reinstall the driver. Would this be a problem with any USB printer?
