I just setup a new windows xp pro machine (sp2 and post updates). This
machine is not a member of a domain yet. I noticed a printer named "Auto HP
LaserJet 2100 on COMPUTERNAME" on this xp machine? huh? I checked the
computer named COMPUTERNAME, which IS a member of a Windows 2000 AD Domain
(and is running windows 2000 professional), and there is a shared HP 2100
but its share name is not "Auto HP LaseJet etc..." AND I did not install
this printer. Considering the 'Auto..' in the name makes me think it was
automatically added of course but how? why? when? huh?

can someone please enlighten me?
