Need to suppress different local printers of the terminal service server(s).

[tilsleyj]

I have a lot of users on a terminal service farm and these users are
in 6 different physical locations. I want to install all of their
printers as local printers of the terminal service server, but would
like to only have the printers that pertain to a location to show up.
Any good way of doing this?

When you said "I want to install all of their printers as local printers of
the terminal service server", do you install the printers on the client
sides in 6 different locations, or do you install them on the server
machine?

I want to install the printers on the TS servers, but restrict who can
see the printers based on their groups.

Why don't you set permissions on the printers? I do not know whether a
user who has no permission on a certain printer can see it or not, but
you should try it.

I hope this helps.

Re: Need to suppress different local printers of the terminal service server(s).

If you are installing local printers on the TS Server, to control access
restrictions on local printers, you can do the foll:

.. Install local printers on TS server
.. From Control Panel -> Printers, select a particular printer ->
Properties -> Security tab
.. Here, you can give "Manage Printers", "Manage Documents" or "Print"
permissions on that printer for any particular user group.
