    Add a Printer button quits working...


    I click on "add a printer", tell it my printer isn't listed (I don't want to wait for it to be discovered), browse to the print server, install the printer and click the "add a printer button" to add a second printer and nothing happens.

    I have to reboot and then the "add a printer button" will work again to install ONE printer.

    If I want to install 4 network printers I have to reboot 4 times.

    Suggestions?
    Thanks

    I've found it easier just to browse to the system the printer is attached to and double click on it. That kicks off the printer installation for me.

    I know that doesn't answer your question but it's a good work around.

    Why don't you want to wait for them to be discovered?

    It takes multiple minutes... as compared to XP it took only a few seconds.
