Re: Duplicate printers apearing via TS

RDP works fine, you can have as many connections open as you can practially
deal with ;-). You can save a seperate RDP connection for each, and use
shortcuts to open them. It's superior to the web client, by a fair margin.
If using an older system, check to see you have the current RDP bits -
they're installable on any OS.

Hi Les,

Thanks for the reply - I'm using the terminal services client (tsMMC
based, rather than the "new" XP Pro RDP client. It doesn't seem to
have an option about printers, which is why I had disabled the printer
redirection in the users AD profile but it seems to ignore this.

I see the option in the standard RDP client, so I guess I'll switch over
to using that instead (but it'll be annoying when I need to keep
connections to multiple servers open)..

AFAIK, this is expected behaviour if you enable printers with your RDP
connection.

You have a printer installed and shared from the SBS.
Your workstation has this printer installed.
You connect from your workstation to the server via RDP, with printer
redirection enabled.
TS assumes you may want to print to your local workstation, so connects
the
printers that are installed.
But the printers are physically one and the same, so you have a kind of
'round robin' affect.

The solution (allthough it's not really a problem in the first place) is
to
not enable printer redirection when connecting to the SBS (or any other
computer on the lan), - unless you also have a local printer connected to
the workstation that you want to print to.
