Hello Philip,
Thank you for your post.
My name is Gary Wang, and it is my pleasure to work with you on this issue!
Please allow me to confirm that my understandings are correct. As I
understand it, the issue is:
Your default printer will add a job named as "Remote Desktop Redirected
Printer Doc" after RDC connection established.
If I have misunderstood your concerns please feel free to let me know.
Suggestion :
==============
Firstly I would like to double confirm that if you are using Windows Small
Busniess Server 2003but not Windows Server 2003 . If not, I would suggest
that use the Microsoft public newsgroups for Windows Server
2003(microsoft.public.windows.server.general) which would be the most
relevant newsgroup for your question.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/newsgroups/dgbrowser/en-us/defaul
t.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.server.general
If yes, please open RDC, you should see an "Optional" link below the list
box. Click it and you should see a list of options. Navigate to Local
Resources tab, make sure "Enable documents on the remote computer to be
printed on a local printer" is checked.
In most cases, there're 3 possible causes for such issues:
Cause 1:
The local printer's driver is not for Windows Server 2003, you must install
the driver for the printer on the Server before using the printer
redirection feature in RWW or Remote Desktop.
To do so:
1. Click Start and click Printers and Faxes.
2. Click File menu and click Server Properties.
3. Click Drivers tab and click Add button.
4. Follow the wizard and complete adding the printer driver on the server.
Cause 2:
This printer's port does not begin with COM/LPT/USB. If this is the point,
please follow KB 302361 to solve the problem.
Printers That Use Ports That Do Not Begin With COM, LPT, or USB Are Not
Redirected in a Remote Desktop or Terminal Services Session
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302361
Cause 3:
Make sure that your printer is compatible with Windows Server 2003, please
check the HCL list:
http://www.microsoft.com/hcl
Here is more information about this issue. I want to introduce the
following utility to you.
Terminal Server Printer Driver Redirection Wizard v.1.0.80
This tool will examine a remote or local Terminal Server and determine
whether or not printer redirection has failed. For each printer driver that
failed redirection, the tool will prompt the user to select an installed
driver to create a new NTPrintSubs.inf file.

following KB articles:

Hope it helps
I look forward to your reply. Also, if you have any questions or concerns,
please do not hesitate to let me know. I am happy to help. :-)

| Hi Robert,
|
| I am getting the same problem; as soon as I use RDC and log in to our
Windows 2003 server, the default printer then has a print job added to it
("Remote Desktop Redirected Printer Doc"). I'm not sure what this could be,
but the owner of it is the active directory user account of whoever logs
in, i.e. me and one other guy.
|
| It's really odd and I think it slightly differs to the synopsis above.

| Regards
|
| Phil
