Do not set default client printer to be default printer in a session

Requirements: At least Microsoft Windows XP Terminal Services

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


Description:
Directs Terminal Services not to specify the default client printer as the default printer in a Terminal Services session.

By default, Terminal Services automatically designates the default client printer as the default printer in a Terminal Services session. Use this setting to override this default behavior.

If you enable this setting, the terminal server does not set the default client printer as the default printer in the session. Instead, the default printer is that which is specified at the server.

If you disable this setting, the default printer is always the default client printer.

If you do not configure this setting, the default printer is not enforced at the Group Policy level. However, an administrator can configure the default printer for client sessions by using the Terminal Services Configuration tool.
