Printer mappings are stored in hkcu\printers\devmode etc.=20
I can't say there are many problems with printing in w2k, if you compare
it to tse4 there are almost none.

I haven't seen this printing issue like you describe since my tse4
times, can't say we have major problems or any at customers at this
moment.

Check for user rights, client names etc.

Hello all,

We have printer problems. Users can see others users auto-created client
printers, it seems not to infect every users, but many. Our environment
is: Win2k domain, Metaframe XPe FR1. We use published application sets.
We use roaming profiles and also deletes locally cached profiles when
logging off.

Under 'Printer Management Properties - Client Printers' we have these
settings:
* Auto Create client printers when user log on.
* Local client printers only.
* Use universal driver only if native driver is unavailable

Why do this happend and what can be done??

Printermappings seems to be stored in
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\currentversion\Devices and ..
\Printerports This key should be part of ntuser.dat wich is stored in
each users roaming profile directory, correct? Is there any way to
delete all client printers from users?

Additional printer question:
Printing in a terminal server environment seems tricky and hard to
understand. Is there any faq/white paper/good documentation how
printing, in detail, work in terminal server environment, and why there
are so many problems???

best regards,
tobias
