Is there a limit to the amount of printer connections you can have on a

to a single (test) server and it seems to be struggling - to the stage where
it no longer appears to be able to enumerate the printers in the Devices
On our 2003 servers, we seem to have about 180 printers before moving to

limit.

some time. Like about 5 if you are going beyond 5 minutes and still getting

I have seen this many times when the machine has a virus/malware on it.
When it got to that state it was time to start over. Someone else may have

this is just security-through-obscurity. Anyone can accidently edit rather

Maybe to be a bit more secure - write a little service. The service has the

A bad entry in the uninstall registry can cause something like this. The
most typical example of this in the past was Autocad which created a bad
