Printer sessions

[Guest]

Hi,

Printer sessions don't dissconnect from the terminal server when sessions
have ended. How do "force" terminal server or RDP to close the printer
session?

I am having the exact same problem and haven't solved it yet. Every couple
of days I have to go in and delete the orphaned printer sessions. I also
have one I cannot delete, apparently because it has a print job pending that
I can't get out of it.

Stop the spooler service, delete the print job from %systemroot%
\system32\spool\printers and start the spooler service again.

Ok, got the printer deleted, but still have the problem where the session
printers are not deleted when the users log out.

How many printers are redirected by your users?
Check if this applies:

822143 - Printers Remain Installed on a Terminal Server After You
Disconnect from the Terminal Server

Are there any Events in the EventLog related to print jobs?

Already saw that article... There are only 2 users and 3 printers.
