Guest Juan Carlos Flores Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 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 Juan Carlos Flores
Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 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 http://www.thinprint.com/index.php?s=4321&lc=61 In Windows Server 2008, this is no longer an issue. The visibility of redirected printers is limited to the session where they are installed.
