Q: Can I remove the session number from the redirected printer
name?
A: In theory: yes, you can remove the session id from the
redirected printer name by using the "RenamePrinter" method of the
Win32_Printer WMI Class to rename the printer with a script.
But in practice: no, this won't work, because you need to have
Administrative rights to rename the redirected printer.
And before you ask it: no, it is not possible to assign a fixed
session id to a specific user or client.
The usual reason for wanting to remove the session id from the
printer name is that a specific application needs it. If that's
also your problem, the best way to solve it is to make sure that
the application uses the GetDefaultPrinter function. This will
retrieve the default printer in the session, irrespective of the
changing session id.
