You might want printers to remove themselves automatically from a workstation. For example, you have a printer in your lobby for customers to use. When the customer leaves, you want the printer to be removed from the customer's laptop. Setting the persistence of the printer allows you to automatically remove the printer when the customer reboots his laptop.
Complete the following to set the persistence of a printer:
Using a text editor, open SYS:\LOGIN\IPPDOCS\INST.HTM.
Edit the file by searching for "persistence=".
The setting occurs twice: once for Internet Explorer and once for Netscape browsers.
Replace the printer setting value, located after the comma (,) with reboot.
Save the file.
