[THIN] Re: Orphaned Printers

Were these autocreated printers or mapped network printers?

The former can be deleted from the console easily, the latter could be
removed via a script that enumerates printers and deletes any with a
specified server name.

Puzzled about the permissions.  If they can map new printers, I don't
know why they wouldn't be able to delete old ones.  Have you tried
restarting the spooler service?
