[THIN] Re: auto creating printer with thin clients

You could try...
In the CMC in the right side click on the "Print Management" and then
click on "Printers". From there you click on the "Client Printers" icon
in the toolbar. This is where I set my thin clients to always map to
it's local printer no matter who is logged in.
