Many thanks for your comments...especially regarding users logging-off vs disconnect. &nbsp;I will bet this is the issue...Thanks again for your reply.

Hi Experts -- perhaps you can help me. &nbsp;I have a Server 2008R2 Terminal Services server with several users who attach to the server via RDP. &nbsp;On each user's local PC running Win7 and they have an HP Laserjet printer which is shared, and is set as the default printer. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The users connect via RDP to the server, and at some point during the RDP session the printer disappears???? &nbsp;Now if the user gracefully disconnects from RPD and reboots the PC and reconnects via RDP, the printer still does not show up. &nbsp;HOWEVER, if I go into the TS Services and stop/start the Printer Spooler and have the users log off gracefully from RPD and then logback into the TS all is well and the printers showup. &nbsp; &nbsp;This issue only affects PCs running Win7!!!!<br />
<br />
I have googled with little success and fought with this issue for several months without a satisfactory solution other than to stop/start the printer spooler. &nbsp; Any ideas or help would be much appreciated.<br />
Thanks in advance for your help.
