I agree - that's ridiculous that you have to jump through that hoop to get
their bug fixes.

Why do they make you call them for this stuff? Can't they just make it
available for download.

From Windows and .Net magazine newsletter.....
Terminal Services Print Fix, 2 Win2K AD Bug Fixes, a Chkdsk Problem, and
More
Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Server Terminal Services Print Fix
The Terminal Services service on Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000
servers becomes confused when two users log on and one user has a more
recent driver for the same network printer than the other user. When the
user with the older print driver attempts to print a document, the server
responds with an error message instructing the user to install a new
printer. If the user then follows the message's instructions for installing
a printer, the Print and Apply buttons for the default printer aren't
available. The problem occurs because when the user with the newer print
driver logs on, the terminal server generates a new spool file for the first
user (the user with the older print driver), formatted according to the
second user's more current print-driver instructions. When the server
attempts to print the spool file, the format isn't compatible with the older
driver, which causes the server to respond with the error message "No
printers installed" or a similar error message. Microsoft Product Support
Services (PSS) has a patch for both Windows 2003 and Win2K platforms. The
patch updates 21 files, most of which have a file release date of November
20, 2003. This problem is documented in the Microsoft article "You receive
an error message when you try to print to a shared network printer in a
terminal server session"
