Do not allow client printer redirection

Requirements: At least Microsoft Windows XP Terminal Services

Location: Computer Configuration\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Client/Server data redirection\


Description:
Disables the mapping of client printers in Terminal Services sessions.

Use this setting to prevent users from routing printing jobs from the server to a printer attached to their local computer. By default, Terminal Services allows client printer mapping.

If you enable this setting, users cannot route printing jobs from the server to a printer attached to their local computer in Terminal Services sessions.

If you disable this setting, the client printer mapping setting in the Terminal Service Configuration tool determines printer redirection.

If you do not configure this setting, client printer mapping is not specified at the Group Policy level. However, an administrator can still disable client printer mapping using the Terminal Services Configuration tool.
