Printing session

Guest

I use a wts2000 svpk3 with TS.
T-Server | configuration | Clients setting
Windows printer mapping (disable)
Lpt port mapping (enable)
com port mapping (enable)
Client-RDP| local resource
Printers (disable)
Serail port (enable)
-------------------------------------------------
When I connect from client_A I create a printer wiith port TS001 CLIENT_A: LPT1.
When I quit the session the printer get away.
How can I keep printer off-line?
--------------------------------------------------
I create a PRINTER_A to LPT1 and a PRINTER_B to LPT2 on the server.
I connect From CLIENT_A, I change the port for TS001 CLIENT_A: LPT1
I connect from CLIENT_B, I change the port for TS002 CLIENT_B: LPT1
When I leave sessions, printers stay in the server with off line status. That,s OK.
Then I connect with CLIENT_B, PRINTER_A get the PORT to new port of CLIENT_B
and I connect from CLIENT_A, PRINTER_B get the PORT to new port of CLIENT_A

As you have noticed, this is not the way to do it, since the TSxxx
ports are assigned dynamically. This is documented gere:

317780 - Print Jobs That Are Sent to Terminal Services Redirected
Printers May Print on Another Client's Printer

Why have you disabled Windows printer mapping? Why not let Windows
autocreate the printer within each session?

The situation is:
The application need to print with the specific printer name.
I have 2 choices.
1-) rename the printer created dynamically by the session with a fixe name.
2-) Adjusted the application to search on the printer's list the good printer.
I thought, it should have a other way to determine the specific printer name.
And other way to fix a printer name is to use the LPR/LPD printing but the printing times isn't not very good (not as well as session printing).

I will use the point 1-) for my need.
Thanks.
