Thanks for the replys.<br />
<br />
I have done this on my client PC (and rebooted) and it still throws these printers onto the server when I remote to it.<br />
<br />
Any other ideas please?

Dear All<br />
<br />
I am having an issue with numerous Phantom Printers on a Windows 2000 Server.<br />
<br />
I have set-up several printers on a Printer server and shared the printers and they all seem to work fine (All HP apart from 3 Ricoh Photocopiers).<br />
<br />
I have turned off ipx, and apple on all printers, we are running an IP network.<br />
<br />
But when I remote onto the server (from a Windows XP Pro SP2 computer, logged in as my username) and go into Printers, I see several phantom printers with the name of my workstation, and seession1 at the end of each?<br />
<br />
Can anyone please explain why?<br />
<br />
Is the server network crawling for printers when I connect?<br />
<br />
I did set-up the printers as Administrator on the server.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Phantom Printers on Windows 2000 Server

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
