[comp.windows.ms] Losing network printer, please help

grimlok@hubcap.clemson.edu (Mike Percy) (03/24/91)

It seems that Windows is just not keeping track of my network (Novell)
printer configurations.
 
Ok, I go to Control Panel, then to Printers.
It shows an Installed Printer as Postscript Printer on LPT2:; Active. The
status button shows active, the default printer shows as PostScript
Printer on LPT2:, and I am using Print Manager.

Going to Network shows that I have no Network printer connections.
Dammit! I select prot LPT2:, then Browse.  I select a server (mother in
this case), and chose a queue (PRINTQ_1).  Now the path shows
MOTHER/PRINTQ_1, so I click on Connect, an click on the Ok's until I'm
out.  Now I can print...at least until I end this Windows session...

Why doesn't it save all this stuff?  It is really a pain the ass to have
to go through all this every time I start up and want to print
something.
 
Any help will be appreciated.
