Description
Whenever a computer with XP installed is attached to a network it automatically installes every printer it can find on the network. Great. unless you only want one or two printers.
Solution
Open up Windows Explorer.
Click on Tools -> Folder Options
Click on the View tab.
The first item in the list you should see
is "Automatically search for network shares and
printers". Or something like that. Untick it.
