Resolved, but thanks.

A) Profile had become corrupt
B) I had installed the printer connected to LPT1 as Admin, in order to
get the driver; when I logged on as Admin I could see that it was there
but attaching to a TS session port instead of LPT1. Deleted it and
problem gone. Anyone know how this might happen? And how I might prevent
it in future?

is client A an admin/power user? and does the printer show up if A logs
in =3D while B isnt?

The initial (Emabrassing) symptom was that client A's printer(HP 1300)
was showing up in the session for Client B. When client A printed, it
went to Client B's printer(HP 1015).

In a slight panic, I deleted B's local profile, thinking that it somehow
contained the printer info. They should both be using Remote Profiles.
Now, when B logs on, he gets the message=3D20 "Windows cannot find the
local profiel and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes
you make to this profile will be lost when you log off". So that's a
problem.
=3D20
And even this temp profile is showing clietn A's printer!

Runnign pure W2k3 - no Citrix.

Any ideas where I should go...I'm less worried about the profile, more
about the printer.
