Are local printers cached on the Terminal Server?

I have a user that logs into the TS from computerA, in his session he gets
his local printer as normal, an HP Deskjet xxx. But, if he logs into ANY
other computer and starts a TS session to the same server, he still gets as
his local printer, the HP Deskjet xxx from ComputerA.

Where is that coming from? Is it cached somehow on the Terminal Server?

Thanks
 
RE: Are local printers cached on the Terminal Server?

Hi John

The Terminal Server caches the local printers for a given time periode, so
if the same user logs on to the TS within that time periode the printers will
still be available.
I am not quit sure how to change the cache periode because we don't allow
local printers to be used with our own TS. I can't see any settings in the TS
Configuration Manager so it might be a Group Policy setting.

Re: Are local printers cached on the Terminal Server?

If anyone else knows how to change the cache period, please chime in.
