Terminal Services 2003 printer redirection

Hi

I have a real strange problem with a Windows 2003 server running as a
dedicated terminal server. Everything works fine on it bar auto
redirection of printers, all settings are checked to allow and the
config is exactly the same as another couple of servers at different
sites which work OK. When logging on the server will put the usual
driver error if not found in the event log, when added the error then
disappears but no printers are added in Printers and Faxes, it doesn't
created the TS00* ports either. The event logs are completely clean of
any errors and I have tried creating LPT1 LJ4 printers which auto
install on other servers but to no avail. This problem has only just
come to light as nobody has needed to print to their local printers as
all the company printers are installed on the terminal server as local
printers, the issue is now one user is using TS remotely from the
office not just locally as they have moved house. I have trawled
through all the logs and I can definately say that all the options are
set to redirect printers on both the server and client, it just doesn't
work and gives no errors. I have tried running cleanspl and then
re-adding the needed drivers but this makes no difference. Also
redirection makes no difference if connecting locally to the server or
through the firewall remotely. I will soon have to setup the server
again as I need to sort this out sooner rather than later.

Any ideas.

Regards

Harry
