Configuration settings (for example, paper orientation) for automatic printer queues are preserved in the registry (see Automatic Queue Configuration Changes). These settings are restored by the server for this printer queue on installation.
When a client disconnects or ends the session, the printer queue is deleted and any incomplete or pending print jobs are lost. Information about the client's local printers and settings is saved on the client computer. During subsequent logon sessions, the printer queue is created using the information stored on the client computer.
If a printer driver is not found on the server, an event is logged and the client printer is not created. To make the printer available, the driver must be manually installed on the server that matches the string name noted in the event, which also matches the string name found on the incoming client that failed to redirect.
Note: Printer administrators can see all redirected printers, both those on the server and those redirected from their session. Normal users can see normal printers on the server, but can see only their own redirected printer queues.
