Patrick,

I read everything on the page you referenced along with
the links (I am still working on the chapter from Brian
Madden's book.

I don't see anything that really addresses the issue of
why I am seeing two ports being mapped for my system when
there is only one printer installed.

I admit, I am pretty new to TS and it is a kind of learn
as I go adventure. My remote system has nothing mapped to
prn0 (at least that is obvious). And there is only one TS
session active. Yet I still get the two mappings for
redirection:

TS33 mapped as prn0
TS01 mapped as lpt1 (where the device is connected)

Thanks again if you have any ideas.
