That really doesn't matter, since the only benefit of installing
the printer on the server is to install the driver. After that, you
can delete the printer again (but keep the driver).
The TS00x ports that you see are redirected ports belonging to user
sessions. You should *not* install anything to these ports, since
they are assigned dynamically. So userA will get TS001, userB port
TS002, etc. But if they logon the next day in another sequence,
they will get a different port number, while the old port number is
still in their profile. This will lead to a situation where printer
output doesn't show up at all, or users print to each others
printers.
