I was hoping to eliminate the server at each remote location.

We have a number of remote printers with JetDirect units but all
our print queues are on a local print server, with print jobs being
spooled on from there. Our setup uses a custom app to generate the print
queues but you could achieve what you want using the CON2PRT utility.
Your login script (Kix would make it easy) could run CON2PRT depending
on the client machine name or NT group memberships to make connections
to shared queues on the NT print server.

Subject: [THIN] Windows 2000 TS printer mapping
Hello all! I have lurking here for quite a while and
woudl like to start by saying I have really learned a lot from all of
you. Thank you for that.
I am relative newbie to Terminal Services and have made
some promises I am having trouble delivering on. My greatest stumbling
block is remote printing. I have a client that I am configuring this TS
for and he has remote offices of 10 or so users that will be connecting
over a WAN. I have 1 workgroup printer in each office and a couple of
users will have local printers. My original thinking was to have the
workgroup printer connected via Jet Direct in the remote office but this
can change if necessary.
Currently each remote office has a "server" that has the
printer connected via LPT1 and is shared. The other system are printing
to that shared printer. If I connect to the TS the printer gets created
correctly and prints in this configuration. I tried connecting the
printer to a Jet Direct box and connect to the TS the printer does not
get created.
What is the best way for me to accomplish this? Can you
point me to some documentation that may assist me?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
