92315 2002-10-24 19:05:00 A short while ago Microsoft had an add-on for IE on its update site to do with "Printing to the Internet" (something like that) - is it possible this has been installed to the internet connected machines and somehow its turned on to check for printers on the internet?

I am not totally sure this might be the problem as I have never applied that particular update to a machine but have a look in IE's options for this print to internet feature and if its there disable it.

I'll put Netbeui on the PC's and change the Printer to Netbeui as well!

Will let you know how it goes.
