Patrick,

Regarding TCP/IP printers, I thought that was how it worked, i.e., if they
are installed with a local TCP/IP port on the TS, then they will get mapped.
I checked two TS servers (my client's 2000 TS and a friend's client's TS
2003) and the only time I see the network printers is if I log in as the
Domain Administrator.

At first I thought it was the GPO blocking the printers, but I added a
user's account to the security on my client's 2000 TS and denied Apply Group
Policy for her account, then logged off and back on as that user. I no
longer had a locked down desktop, so I know the GPO is no longer applied,
but I still had no printers other than what is on my local station. No
network printers show up.

To check further, I added her account to the Domain Administrators group and
took her out of Domain Users. I still have only printers that are local to
my workstation being mapped. None of the printers that the TS is connected
to via TCP/IP ports is visible.

I cannot say for certain, but I swear this used to work. I have made no
changes to either system except for Windows Update patches.

I am going to do some more reading of the link you gave to me (tomorrow
morning after I get some sleep).

Thank you for the help...and patience!

Any attributes of the default user profile affect newly created profiles.
As
for TCPIP Printers, any local port printer, whether TCPIP, LPT or USB
appears
for all users, i.e. if you add a new printer -> Local printer atached to
this
computer -> create new port -> standard TCP/P Port -> IP Address of
printer's
NIC -> Name the local printer.

Network printers added via UNC or point and print only appear and exist in
each individual user profile.

Patrick,

Thank you for the quick response.

How would I update the Default User profile so that all new remote users
get
the TS network printers installed? I am not sure what you mean by, "you
set
up the printers using local TCPIP Ports." On the TS itself, those
printers
are installed with local TCP/IP ports. Is that what you meant?

One printer is a Canon iR7200 on a "Standard TCP/IP Port" and the other
one
is an HP LJ 4050 on a "PrintServer Port."

Network printers are specific to the user profile, so if they were
created
in
the administrator's profile, they would not appear in other's profile
unless
you used this profile to update the Default User Profile, or you setup
the
printers using local TCPIP Ports.

You can connect the network printers using logon script:

Hello!

I have a 2003 TS. When I log in as the administrator, I can see the
printers
that are attached to the TS (Canon and HP network printers), as well
as
my
own HP LJ 1200 (via mapping to an HP 2000).

When a non-admin user logs into the TS, he only sees the Microsoft
Office
Document Image printer and an Amyuni PDF printer, but not the two
networked
printers.

I used a GPO to lock down the TS per the 2003 TS lockdown white paper,
but I
do not remember any setting for printers that are local to the TS to
prevent
them from being seen from remote sessions.

Is this normal behavior? If so, how can I make the two network printer
on
the TS LAN accessible to users who log into the TS remotely?

Thank you for your time!
