Hello,

I am having an issue. I have autocreation printers turned on, and they are working in that aspect. Once I rename that printer and log off, it give me two printers on next login. One the printer that I renamed, and one the Client\%clientname%#\Printername. Is this how auto created printers are supposed to function? Where is the printer info held? (Profile of the data store?)

Thanks!!!!
Kenny
 
Auto-created printers are destroyed when you logoff. If you require custom naming conventions for your auto-created printers check out products like triCerat's Screwdrivers:

If you need to manipulate an autocreated printer, you need to remove the comment field of the printer (the autocreated bla bla text)
Then you can do with the printer what you like, and it will still use it's autocreation features.

Most easy part for this, is to publish the printfolder for users, so they can do it themselves.
(hav a look in the tip section of my website)
