sorry guys & girls I have been traveling & busy.
To recap we run XP on desktops. the server on win server 2003.
We specify the printers in all modules. Our observation is when someone new logs into the system their credentials & printer specifications over-ride the user. when the user exits & re-enters their specified printers are in place but they can over-ride the existing user. If we just change the selected printer all is good until the 3rd person enters with different printers...then it is a crap shoot if it changes & to what. We just watch for it & change before printing. When in a rush we forget to change & we print in the wrong spots.
