TS Clients seeing all printers

[Guest]

A customer has many clients connecting to Win2k/SP4 running
AD and Terminal Services. When clients connect, they can
see all printers, including ones redirected from other
sessions. Users are not members of power users group.
Needless to say, this has caused confusion. Anyone have ideas?

Are all these users using different logons with different
usernames and passwords?

All users are using different logons. Are the fixes
described in 253922 server-side?

Actually, it is not just seeing the printers, they are
printing to other users printers as well. Changes were made
according to 275495, with no change in behavior.

I had the same problem. Be careful, I upgraded to SP4 and
then had serious problems with spoolsv.exe causing high
CPU utilization. Found this link.

I then called MS and got the patch, but I'm still having
problems with performance. Better than it was, but not as
good as it was before SP4.
