In general not. I do have seen cases with these newfangled win7
"all is automatic!" printer drivers when "out of the blue" printers that
had been previously auto-discovered just disappeared again.
I never investigated in detail, but my gut feeling is that "VPN is up"
makes some part of windows declare "oh, we are on a new network now!"
and some particular daft printer driver programmer interprets that as
"oh, forget everything and do new autodiscovery... oh, what, two
active network cards? this is not something people will ever use in
real life, so just error out...!" (or it tries printer autodiscovery
on the tap adapter, does not find anything, and removes all the "no
longer existing" drivers)
But this is all just hearsay and interpretation, I have no facts to
back that.
If this can be reproduced, I'd take it up with Konica Minolta - OpenVPN
will never ever mess with your printers, but it *will* present a "new
network card"...
