Need consistant session ID

I have two workstations that connect to the server, each has a shared
printer (p1 and p2). When they connect p1 is set as the default printer for
both. I have two types of reports that need to be printed (r1 and r2). R1
will always print to the default printer, no problem. R2 needs to always
print to p2.

In Crystal Reports I can specify the p2 printer for the report. The problem
is that if I logoff, when I come back it says I have an invalid printer
specified, because the session id is part of the printer name and the id has
changed. Is there a way to keep the id consistent, or some other way to be
able to specify a specific printer without having to select the printer on
each login?
 
What kind of printers are those? If they have the ability
to have a Network Connection they make them networl
printers and install each on the server as a local
printer, with a an IP port to print to.
If they are not, try sharing them out on the workstation
itself, so that W1 will have P1 and W2 will have P2
shared to the network. Then for the user that logs on you
can map a printer to \\W1\P1 and/or \\W2\P2 - those will
be saved in the users' profiles and stay with the same
names.
