Windows NT Printers Not Redirecting and Deleting Properly

I have a Windows XP Home PC that is connecting to a Microsoft Windows 2003
Server Standard Edition terminal server via RDP over IP. When this client
logs off the terminal server, the printers that were "created" on the server
to redirect his local printers do not get deleted. I have never seen this
before - all other clients who connect to this server have their printers
deleted when they log off. Then when this client logs on again, he winds up
with duplicate printers in his terminal server session, with the result that
applications get confused and printing fails. Any idea how to remedy this?
I'm stuck! Thanks!

Can be a problem with the printer driver, or the user profile.
Did you install a 3rd party driver for this printer on the TS?

I did install a 3rd party printer driver. Reluctantly, I might add, after
trying to get the printer vendor to tell me an equivalent "Native Windows
2003" driver. However I did install it by extracting the entire file set for
the driver, and then just adding it to the printer drivers on the server by
going through Printers and Faxes, Drivers, Add. So all I pointed to was the
vendor's INF file. I did NOT run their installation procedure.

If the problem is their driver, then I guess I will need to let my client
know thqt we just cannot get his printer to work in this environment. That
is, unless you have any other recommendations.

Thanks!

Depending on which driver and printer model this is, you might
still get basic printing features by mapping the printer to a
native Windows driver.

Detailed instructions here (applies to 2003 as well):

239088 - Windows 2000 Terminal Services Server Logs Events 1111,
1105, and 1106
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=239088

Or define the Fallback printer driver, in a GPO.
