Automatically search for network folders and printers

My printers that I have shared out from the Server will no longer
Automatically install on the client machines. It was working fine for the
longest time, now it is not. I can manually install them, but would prefer
to not have too.

The Automatically search for network folders and printer is already checked.

Server - Windows Small Business Server 2003
Client Machines - Windows XP Pro SP3

I have also posted in the Symantec forum assumming its a Virus or Firewall
issue.

Are the printers using the same drivers that worked in the past? Only those
printers that have a driver installed on the client or that use drivers
included in XP will get automatically added.

Nothings changed. Same printers & the same drivers. All was working about a
month ago, when I added three new machines. I see another poster in here
seems to think it has something to do with SP3. I did also roll that out
just last week. I guess it could be related.

Post back if it's related to SP3. I'm working on the next OS release so
don't have much contact with the group that works on the service pack
releases but I can forward the info their way.
