Guest news.microsoft.com Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 On a windows 2003 TS. If a user logs into TS what printers should they see. I would think they would see shared printers that are configured on the TS plus any local (to their PC) printers that are dynamically created on the TS for use by that session (would not see other session printers). How wrong am I? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Guest Jeff Pitsch Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Re: What Printers are Available per TS Session If redirection is enabled, they should see (assuming the print drivers get installed as well) their client printers from the endpoint, they should see whatever is mapped for them in a login script or whatever, they should see any printers created on the TS box itself. i think that covers it. -- Jeff Pitsch Microsoft MVP - Terminal Services "news.microsoft.com" <rgouge@doncarsys.com> wrote in message news:eweWrk4BJHA.1012@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > On a windows 2003 TS. > > If a user logs into TS what printers should they see. > > I would think they would see shared printers that are configured on the TS > plus any local (to their PC) printers that are dynamically created on the > TS for use by that session (would not see other session printers).

Guest news.microsoft.com Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Re: What Printers are Available per TS Session The problem I'm having is that everyone appears to be able to see everyone elses printers including their own. I thought this was only available to print administrators.

Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Re: What Printers are Available per TS Session Yes, that should only be possible for administrators, power users or printer operators. Check membership of a user by typing "whoami /groups" (without the quotes) in a cmd window in an rdp session. Note: Some applications, for example Lotus Notes 5.5 and Microsoft Excel 2002, may display redirected printers from other sessions, for which users have no permissions. You can solve this with a free utility from ThinPrint: MyPrinterView http://www.thinprint.com/index.php?s=4321&lc=61 But if users see all printers from withing Start menu - Printers, then chances are that they have too much user rights. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net ___ please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email ___ "news.microsoft.com" <rgouge@doncarsys.com> wrote on 26 aug 2008 in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services: > The problem I'm having is that everyone appears to be able to > see everyone elses printers including their own.
