W2K3 automatically discovers Vista printers

[David Griffiths]

Hi All

Windows Server 2003

I have just put the first Vista (Ulitmate) workstation on to the domain.
Installed all the domain printers.

When I logged into the Server I noticed that in the printers folder all the
Vista workstation printers had automatically been discovered and installed.
eg. "Brother HL-5130 series on florence (from SHARON) in session 1" and
also made it the default printer for the server. I need to be able to stop
this from happening or when we get many Vista works it will be crazy in the
print folder. This does not happen with any Win XP workstation.

Vista networking setup:
Network Discovery ON
File Sharing ON
Public Folder Sharing OFF
Printer Sharing OFF
Media Sharing OFF

Can anybody help to stop this problem, please

Thanks in advance
