I have a windows 2003 server and windows xp pro network. Each machine prints to both local and network printers. However, one machine is causing me great problems. When it is in a workgroup and i install the printer locally (lpt1 - HP Laserjet 4L)it prints to the printer fine. Once i join it to the domain i send a print job it disappears off the print queue and appears downstairs on one of the network laser printers. Please can someone help me find out what is pinching lpt1 and making only this machine print out elsewhere

any help much appreciated

Check the logon script. Somewhere lpt1 is being NET USE to the network printer.

Or add a .cmd file to the All Users Startup program folder that contains the line:

net use lpt1: /delete
