Terminal Server printing (inconsistant)   

Everything was working fine, then one day(no changes), most all printers are 
missing (shared network printers ).
We have remote users connecting to terminal server using remote desktop
and printing to network printers.
They seem to have trouble disconnecting from their session (disconnected, but
not logged off), and then the printers are not deleted. Most all of their 
printers are missing from the session, and then the few left are replicated 
as they are not removed. Some session are missing their default printers, 
some are working perfectly, others missing nearly all of them. Not consistant.
Stopping and restarting the spooler service allows them to disconnect quickly.
We're perplexed.
Have cleaned up printers, removed a recently installed one. Am running hive 
cleaner. Also corrected HP port to TCP Ports, which changed symptom but 
didn't solve issue.
Anyone have some sugesstions?

Hi Dave!

Do you see the same symptoms using RDC for Windows? Or does this only 
affect RDC for Macintosh?

If you see this in both clients then I suggest posting your question in 
one of the Terminal Services newsgroups.
