Printers con TS Session

[Guest Juan Carlos Flores]

I'm using a TS configuration when the user can use his own printers, that

are configurated in the local machine.

 

But i would like that the users can see only the printers that they have

installed on the local machine. Actually the user are so confused because

they see a lot of printer in their printer folders.

 

Please helpe with that.

 

 

Regards

Re: Printers con TS Session

 

Do you mean that all users can see each others printers?

 

From

http://ts.veranoest.net/ts_faq_printing.htm#UserSeeAllPrinters

 

Q: My users can see all redirected printers. How can I make them

see only their own printers?

 

A: If your users can see each others redirected printers, they are

most likely members of the Administrator or Power Users user group.

Type "whoami /groups" in a Terminal Server session to see the group

membership list of a user.

 

If that's the case, there is no way to prevent them from seeing all

printers (and they will be able to do far more serious damage than

merely printing to the wrong printer!).

Make them normal users again, and if you made them Administrators

to solve a permission problem with an application, check this Q&A:

 

My application runs fine for Administrators, but not for normal

users

http://ts.veranoest.net/ts_faq_applications.htm#FileRegMon

 

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

In Windows Server 2008, this is no longer an issue. The visibility

of redirected printers is limited to the session where they are

installed. For more information, see:
