| | Vista Default Printer disappears need a local fix. Looking for a true Microsoft type fix. Microsoft should have had a fix for this by now. What we have come up with so far in our case is: This is a function of the new Remote Desktop client. What is happening is that when you remote into a Vista PC it tries to set your local default printer on the remote box. When the session is ended, it is not getting the remote PC default printer set back. The next time someone logs in local it looks for the default printer (which exist on another PC, possibly at home) and when it cannot find it, it defaults to the first one on the list. I am looking for the correct solution but all of the solutions I have come across so far also have side effects. The best one so far is a group policy setting that would keep the remote desktop client from trying to remap the printer. Thanks JW |
