Angry Server 2003 Automatic Network Feature

I tried searching several forums for an answer, but none of my search parameters get a result, so I am posting with hope someone can answer this.

Small business network with 1 server, 3 clients onsite, 3 clients offiste, 1 roaming laptop.
Server 2003 - I installed a shared printer from client 1(onsite), then browsed for more printers. In my network places I browsed the client computers and saw the shared printers.
I have no problem manually connecting and printing from any of them.
The problem I have is Windows decided to automatically add some to the Printers and Faxes as AUTO<printername>, which is great, but when I disconnected the ones I manually added to get them to automatically add themselves, they won't.
Is there a list or a file I can edit to make the list reset and re-add the printer automatically? Why doesn't it re-detect the printers and add them?
