Have you assigned printers to clients using the Client Printer Config Utility (or its' equivalent in XP - we're still on MF1.8)? That should create the printer for all users of the terminal but only works for locally attached printers. For remote printers we use a small app that queries an MSSQL database for network printer to client assignments and creates the printers accordingly. You could probably do the same thing witha bit of deft Kix scripting and the Microsoft con2prt utility. -----Original Message----- From: Richard S.

I am having some issues getting the auto creation of printers to work with the thin clients. The application we're using does not offer a printing option, so from the application users can't choose or connect to the printer. When a users logs in, there appears to be no printer attached to the thin client. If I publish the desktop, I can get them to work by manually connecting the printer, but when another user logs on the same client, it will not allow me to "connect" to the printer again unless I publish the desktop (again) and connect manually (again). We do not want to publish desktops for users. Secondly, if the user logs in to any other client (thick or thin) is still defaults to the first thin clients printer, which is not what we'd want if the user is in another location. The ultimate plan is to have the client always attach to it's local printer, regardless of who logs on, or even if multiple users are logged on the same client. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Rich Hanzel
