If this is the problem then ThinPrint made a little utility to make sure
that fixed this called "myprinterview".

 

I think its free.

I have seent his occur occasionally. I think it has to do with how various
programs enumerate the printers.  Occasionally my users can "vew" printers
when running the ADP timesaver program.
As I understand it some programs use the system account when enumerating
through whatever the printing API is.  This allows ALL printers to be seen. 
Of course its possible I misunderstood

I don't see any of the users in those groups.  I am going to continue to try
to reproduce the issue.  Thanks for the response.

power users and print operators can see all printers.  Check the affected

A customer of mine called me today and said that the Citrix PS4 servers used
to hide all session printers except the ones auto-created by the user.  This
worked for months he mentioned.  Then last week users intermittantly started
being able to view all printers on the server, even if they aren't members
of the local admin group. He said nothing had been changed.  :)   I created
a test user and logged in and I wasn't able to reproduce this.  Anybody else
run into this problem?
