Fully qualified domain name in printer name when added via Office

W

Woolpert

If I use the Find Printer button in any Office 2003 app to locate and print
to a printer that is not already intalled on the PC, the printer name has the
fully qualified domain name in it instead of the short (or friendly) name.
This is the only app I'm seeing this with. All others name the new printer
with the short name.

Example
Office 2003: Printer1 on myserver.mydomain.local
All other apps: Printer1 on myserver

Is there a way to make Office 2003 behave like other apps?

Thanks :)
