Printers con TS Session

[Juan Carlos Flores]

I'm using a TS configuration when the user can use his own printers, that
are configurated in the local machine.

But i would like that the users can see only the printers that they have
installed on the local machine. Actually the user are so confused because
they see a lot of printer in their printer folders.

Please helpe with that.


Regards

Do you mean that all users can see each others printers?

From
http://ts.veranoest.net/ts_faq_printing.htm#UserSeeAllPrinters

Q: My users can see all redirected printers. How can I make them
see only their own printers?

A: If your users can see each others redirected printers, they are
most likely members of the Administrator or Power Users user group.
Type "whoami /groups" in a Terminal Server session to see the group
membership list of a user.

If that's the case, there is no way to prevent them from seeing all
printers (and they will be able to do far more serious damage than
merely printing to the wrong printer!).
Make them normal users again, and if you made them Administrators
to solve a permission problem with an application, check this Q&A:

My application runs fine for Administrators, but not for normal
users
http://ts.veranoest.net/ts_faq_applications.htm#FileRegMon

Some applications, for example Lotus Notes 5.5 and Microsoft Excel
2002, may display redirected printers from other sessions, for
which users have no permissions.
You can solve this with a free utility from ThinPrint:
MyPrinterView

In Windows Server 2008, this is no longer an issue. The visibility
of redirected printers is limited to the session where they are
installed. For more information, see:
