"Dangling" Printer

Sometimes, (and I can't find the commonality) a printer is left in the TS
print queue after the user logs off.

User A has 4 printers that are autocreated when logging in to the TS, only
one of them does not disappear after logoff.

Different users, different printers, not all the time.

What could make this happen.

Thanks.

Re: "Dangling" Printer

Have you checked the EventLog on the TS for any warnings or errors
when this happens? Can you post the EventIDs?

Re: "Dangling" Printer

The Event ID is an 1107: with the following message:
]]
The printer Brother Troy's on Taylor (from FIELD37) in session 8 could not
be deleted.

]]
Thanks.

Re: "Dangling" Printer

Here's how to solve the problem:

Event ID 1107 — Terminal Services Printer Redirection
http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/library/bcf7a330
-c9ea-4aee-b611-2060eb01d4921033.mspx?mfr=true

So you installed the Brother printer driver on the server? Are you
sure that it is TS compatible? Most 3rd party printer drivers are
not.
Maybe there was still a document in the queue for this printer? Or
the spooler had crashed?
