Printer Redirection

We have cloud 2012 R2 server on which Remote desktop services are configured and users connect from thier pcs to that server via RDP. Every time user connect to server their printer maps to server and they are able to print. One user that use accounting programme having issue with printer, issue is when user connect printer session number changed always for. eg. printer redirected 11, 12, 13 etc. That program-me needs to configure again with new session printer.

 My question is can we fix printer redirection so it always stick on one session number not change when connect via RDP? Please Help

i tried to login with user by using mstsc.exe /admin and get this error the "requested session access is denied".

also if we use with mstsc /admin we can still print or not?

Probably because the user doesn't have administrator rights so that's to be expected.

This depends on the printer driver you're using for the printers. Did you manually install drivers for each of the users' printers on the 2012 R2 server or did you simply connect and saw that the printers redirected without any issues?

As I said in my previous post, what you are asking for is unfortunately not possible as you can't control the session ID a particular user gets when they log in. Your only option would be to never log off disconnected sessions so that when the user logs in, he connects to his disconnected session.

If the server reboots then he'll get a new session ID, which means you'll need to reconfigure the printer in the accounting software. This is probably still better than having to do it each and every time the user logs in though.

ok, we can't give user admin rights. So its better to remove logoff feature then test with user. We can remove logoff feature   via Group Policy right?
