Re: Workstation with printers mapped under different Session #

I am having the same problems,

When a user is logging off, the inactive ts printer ports remain.

If the user is logging on again he can't use his session printer.

Do you have a solution already???

Re: Workstation with printers mapped under different Session #

Re: Workstation with printers mapped under different Session #

Hi,

The inactive TS ports will remain as long as the server is up. Basically,
they will be re-used when another session comes up.
When a session disconnects/logs off, only the mapping between the session's
printers and ports will be removed, but the ports will be retained.

Could you explain in more detail about the below query: "If the user is
logging on again he can't use his session printer" ?
Are the printers not visible in Control Panel on the new session ? If yes,
are there any event logs on printer redirection on that session ?

Thanks,
Priya.

Re: Workstation with printers mapped under different Session #

Unfortunately in my circumstance those printer mappings are not going away
when the user logs off. So what happens is the new person that logs in and
gets a session ID and it matches that of a previous user whose printers
didn't go away, the new user now sees all the old print ques under their
session. Still have not figured out what is happening here. Any guidence
would be appreciated.

Re: Workstation with printers mapped under different Session #

Re: Workstation with printers mapped under different Session #

We have seen similar issues with specific printers in the past. For example,
http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1900348&SiteID=17&pageid=0#1900348.

Do you see the problem with all the printers or with specific printers? You
can try deleting them maually one by one and see which specific printer is
causing it.

Do you have any errors in the event logs?

By the way, what are the OS and Service Packs on the client and server
machines?
