Inactive printer port...

[Robbie]

I am having strange 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.

Anyone seen this behaviour before?, and how to fix this?

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 ?

Situation:
Windows Server 2003 Terminal.
Wyse terminal type SX0
HP Laserjet P2015 directly connected thru usb on a Wyse terminal.

After the user is logging off and is logging on again he receives a new
session and a new session port number (TS009) while the local printer stays
connected to the old (inactive) session port numer (TS011). When i edit the
properties of this printer and manually select the correct port (TS009) the
user is able to print again.
