network printer problems

Member Posts: 14
A client of ours, using Navision 3.70, is having some problems with networked printers on a server. They have application server installed on this machine, which periodically will print out various reports to various networked printers (which are in remote locations - they use terminal services or something to connect them).
The problem is, when they reboot the server, the printers no longer work. They have to reselect the printers within navsision before it will work again.
Now I have heard of this problem before - I think we called it the "NE problem" before, as it was something to do with the ne number given to the printer by the OS. This changes when rebooted, which confuses Navision.
Has anyone else ran into this problem? And if so, how did you go about fixing it?
Thanks.
Shanon.

2) You can modify the function FindPrinter in CU 1 - you can change it to ignore the NE part of the printer name

I should have been more specific - Although they are using a 3.70 executables, it is a 3.01B database. (The client has been upgraded by the C/Side code has not).
