My issue is even simpler...whenever I restart, my printers go offline, and
the only thing I can do to remedy is delete and re-add the printers. My
printers are on a Linksys print server, and work just fine with my two XP
machines. The problem is only on my brand new Dell Vista Home Premium
machine. I tried unchecking the bidirectional box immediately after
re-adding the printer (i.e. while it is still "online"), but the system does
not let me apply the change.
FYI, in case this help, when I try adding the printers as network printers,
it finds the printers but then doesn't let me add them. When I try adding
the printers are local printers, that works until the next time I restart.
