You could have have a problem with the print spooler on the Server. Sometimes it will crash and all the printers with disappear. You most likely have someone printing to the wrong que or a phantom printer. Check your logs

I have checked that and from the KB article the errors they refer to are the ones I am getting. There are not phantom printer or incorrect queues.

Hi,<br />
I have a number of remote users using TS to connect to the main site. TS is a based on a Windows 2003 server.<br />
Every so often their printers disappear from their desktops and it takes a number of retries to get them working again.<br />
Having looked around this is a known problem with TS and there is a resolution according to Microsoft (KB239088), but never having really used TS I am not sure how to proceed and need some guidance if anyone out there can point me in the right direction.<br />
Having looked at the KB article it refers to an ntprint.inf file. I looked in this and I could not see the HP printer listed in there (HP1022). It also refers to an CPD or PPD or PDC files which I am not sure about.<br />
<br />
Can anyone help me resolve this problem please. Thanks.

Printers disappear when using TS for no reason
