Printer Re-Direction Problems

i having issue printer re-direction on new windows 2008 r2 server. using terminal server many users , cant quite seem figure out re-direction.

i have enabled allows re-direction , every time 1 logs in, can see re-directed printers starts populate list. once select 1 , print, works fine.

the issue having whenever defaults re-directed printer use, when log out , in has been switched printer. sure because when log out of remote desktop. printer goes them. questions is, there way default printer , when log in, have default automatically 1 without having change every single time log in?

for users on network in office, have shared printer , issue has been solved. however, remote people use vpn , therefore a different ip address every time cannot share it to print off of. that issue having. 

thanks.

hi alex,

thanks post.

have check group policy "do not set default client printer default printer in session"?

if enable policy setting, default printer printer specified on remote computer.

if disable policy setting, terminal server automatically maps client default printer , sets default printer upon connection.

if not configure policy setting, default printer not specified @ group policy level. server automatically set default printer on client default 1 in remote session.
