We run Windows 2003 Terminal Server. We have 20 Clients at 3
different sites. We have 2 users at a remote office, that connect to
Terminal Server properly, and their printers connect (We see the new
session printers in both the "TS, and the local TS Session). When
they logoff Terminal server, their session printers remain. So for
instance, Larry logs in as Session #5, and a Sessiion #5 printer is
set up. Larry logs off, and the Session #5 printer remains. Now at a
later time (Next day, weekend, lunchtime), he logs back in to TS, and
creates a Session #6. But the Session #5 printer remains. Larry
cannot print to the Sesison #5 printer, although print jobs build up
in the queue for Printer Session #5. In order to clear this, we have
to A) have to delete the jobs in the queue B) Have ther remote user
log off of TS C) Restart the TS Print Spooler D) Have the user log
back into TS E) Verify that his old printer is removed, and the new
Session #6 printer is set...he can then print.
This has affected as many of 3 users a 2 sites. It does not happen
all the time. The two printers are Laserjet 7500 and a Laserjet
P1505. We have verified that the drivers are present, and work with
both XP and 2003. We have 2 other 1505 printers, but they are the "N"
models, and directly attached to the LAN.
We have had support from Microsoft look at this,but they say it is a
"PRINT PROCESSOR" problem, and want to remove all PRINT PROCESSORS
from the system, except WINPRINT. When we tried that, we knocked the
good users off the system (Could not print). Can someone give me a
good place to look to fix this. If their session printers are
removed, then they can be recreated, and the user can print. If they
remain, they cannot print. Even if the same session is created (Larry
#5 - Printer Session #5), Larry cannot print unless we restart the
Print Spooler on the TS, which is very annoying. Thank you in
advance.
