Hello all,

I have a user who's personal laptop has XP Home installed. I am trying
to map a shared domain printer, but the credentials used to map the
printer are lost upon reboot.

Is there any way to map this printer persistently with domain credentials?

Thanks in advance.

Cannot Use Network Printer If Your Password Is Not Saved

CAUSE
This problem can occur if you did not check the Remember my password check
box when you initially provided your credentials to connect to the printer.
The spooler will not prompt you to provide alternate credentials again. When
authentication fails with the credentials you used to log on, an error is
generated.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, click to select the Remember my password check
box when you initially connect to the printer so the credential manager will
save the proper user name and password to connect to the resource. If you
have already set up the printer, delete the printer, and then reconnect to
it to receive the prompt again.

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, XP HOME does not offer a check box
to remember the password - only Pro.
