Does anyone know how to turn off the autodiscover printer
feature on XP.  I work in a school environment and I don't
want the students to be able to print to multiple
printers, only the ones that I have installed on their
machines.  But, everytime I share a printer it is
autoinstalled on my xp machines.  I have looked but I
can't seem to find out how to do this.

Open Windows Explorer...from the Toolbar, Tools, Folder Options...
View... Uncheck first line...Automatically search for Network folders and
Printers.
