[THIN] Printers lost when connected to multiple servers

W2K3 SP1, PS4.0, all hotfixes available including 22, PNAgent 9.0

What seems to be happening is a user conencts to one server and printing
is fine.  They launch a new app and it hits another server, and their
printing resources may not be available.  If they close out of all open
applications on all servers and reconnect, it will generally work the
first time they reconnect.  I have the issues across 4 identical
servers.

The applications are set to launch before printers create, do you think
this could be causing a problem?  None of the general printing issues
I've seen with PS4.0 seem to apply, as most of those have to deal with
the default printer not being selected, not a total lack of printing
resources.

I have native drivers installed on the servers from HP and Dell, so the
UPD isn't being used in almost every case.

Would a product likeThinPrint, APM, ScrewDriver when used on PS4.0
really help me out with these issues?  It's driving users batty, and I'm
running out of ideas.
