I'm having a big problem lately with remote printing and 2003 and 2000 TS.
The drivers are the same on the TS and the client, the printers have exactly
the same name, but they just are not showing up in a session.

Also having a problem on one TS where the session printers are not deleted
when the client logs out. This one is a 2000 TS. There are only 3 clients
on this TS, so the Microsoft KB doesn't apply.
