And for a long-time solution, contact the manufacturer of the
application and tell them that the application should use the
GetDefaultPrinter function. This will retrieve the default printer
in the session, irrespective of the changing session id.

you'd have to use something like vbscript or kixstart to map the
printer through a login script. The printers would behave just
as if they were on a workstation. This does mean that the
printers have to be networked and directly accessible by the
terminal server of course.

How would you connect the printers thru a login script? Would
they be deleted when the user logs off? Will they perform just
like the auto created printers?

No that is there so the printers are unique to each session.
You could try mapping printers through login scripts instead
of using the autocreated printers.

We have an application on a terminal server that is have
problems with the printer names changing depending on the
session number. EX (HP4000 on clientpc from Session 8). The
next time the user connects it may be session 10.

These printers are autocreated printers.
Can the names be changed to not include the session number in
the printer name?
