Just recently my clients who log into a Windows Server 2003 terminal server no longer have some of their local printers redirected for use in the t/s session. This was fully functional until I applied the latest updates for Win 2003. The system event log was showing “Kernel mode printer driver blocking is enabled”. I thought maybe the new updates set this by default, so I disabled kernel mode printer driver blocking in group policy. Now the printers still aren’t being redirected and the system event log is reporting “Printer HP LaserJet 8100 Series PCL 6 on lumber2k (from PC64) in session 6 is pending deletion.” and “Printer Brother PCL4 Driver (from PC64) in session 20 was deleted.” The printer is never even created, but yet it says it deletes it when logging in. I’ve restarted the server and print spooler service on the terminal server. I’m stumped. Does anyone have any ideas?
