Look like they have been redirected from your Workstation, when you have remoted onto the Server. TRy turning off Printer REdirection in your RDP (mstsc) client before connecting.
I believe these are related to your terminal services session.

Do they appear when you access the server console physically (and ensure nobody else is remote desktop connected).

You can use Group Policy to prevent the mappings.

They are from terminal services/remote desktop sessions.

This can be specified in the RDP Client or in the RDP policy.

It coukd also simply be the admin sessions to remote control the server and the sessions haven't been disconnected.

I am the only one who connects to the server (at all), I use remote desktop connection.
So you are telling me that it is because of that these printers get installed?

...and the only way to stop it is to do a group policy?
