Print Session Disconnect

[Fatih KILIÇ]

As you know there is 10 users limit for Windows XP print shares.
How can i disconnect a user who does not connect (idle) for 1 minutes ?
I know it can be a configureable paramater but i can not remember how to .

this would not be a print setting.

you can use
net sess to display the connections and net sess \\machine /d /y to
disconnect

Client applications will often keep a session open after printing if they
call GetDefaultPrinter for page size.

There is a tcp/ip registry key
this is an old KB
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;102974
ConnectionTimeout REG_DWORD Seconds
Default: 600 (10 minutes)

Specifies the time to allow clients to remain idle before forcibly
disconnecting them. This prevents idle clients from consuming server
resources indefinitely. This value may be set to 0 if time-outs are not to
be enforced. If set to 0, idle clients may remain connected indefinitely.
