Re: Is it possible to delete redirected printers while in a TS session

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Sounds like the problem is a bad print driver. This is pretty typical behaviour of a print driver that is not terminal services compatible. Have you thoroughly tested the print drivers to make sure they are compatible?

When I log into a Windows 2003 Server via Terminal Services as a regular user, I see my redirected printers in the printers section. However, sometimes when I log out and log back in, i have duplicate printers. I tried right clicking and deleting the printers, but it says access is denied. What rights do I need in order to delete these printers? I don't want Printer Operator rights, because then I see everybody else's mounted printers as well.

Thanks,
Matt

Please can someone help, i have a Windows 2003 server with around 50 users connecting to it, sometimes the TS will keep their printers from previous sessions, so it will show two printers eg: HP1018 in session 10 and HP1018 in session 12, i think this maybe from the users being disconnected if the line drops, or maybe if they close the terminal sever session by clicking on the cross at the top of the screen instead of logging off correctly by going, start - logoff. ...
