Network printers

[Lars Soerensen]

Every time a user logs on a computer with network printer's installed it
look's like the printer driver's are being downloaded
That's take's up too much bandwith
How to stop that

The driver's are already installed on the client's so it shouldn't be
neccesary to download it again.

I get this alot too.

I have a shared HP CP1700 on my Print Server at work.

I have the printer added to my machines at work through
GPO logon vbs script. Everytime someone logs into their
machine, it downloads the drivers for the printer, which
shows up in System Log as a warning with EVENT ID 20. This
is alot of unnecessary network traffic.
