Printers

Hi, I've got W2kTS running a Sage client in a remote site
and I need to print to a Local Dot matrix printer
(Invoices) on the remote site. The programe that prints
from Sage needs a Static printer name
i.e. //server/EPSONLQ680 but TS changes the printer name
each time we log in. How can I stop this from happening ?

Thanks

You can't.
Try to share the local printer and to connect to it from within the
session.

OR use a print server, this will create a networked
printer that you can add to the terminal server.

IMO this is the best way to use printers on a terminal
server.
