A manual printer queue is added through the Add Printers option in Printers in Control Panel within the session. These queues can be created only by Administrators or Power Users. It is not possible to delegate the right to create manual printer queues outside of membership in these built-in groups.
When attaching a printer to a port, the administrator uses the client computer name to select the printer port from the list of available ports in the Add Printer wizard. Ports for all clients currently connected to the server appear in the Port list. The correct TS port for the printer can be identified by the port “description” field in the Add Printer Wizard ports page. The port name uses the following format (xxx is the port number):
Port
|
Port Description
|
TSxxx
|
x > where Port is “LPT” or “COM” and x is the client-side port number.

Attaching to a printer port with TSxxx:
Attaching a printer to a port of the format
TSxxx:
is strongly discouraged and is not a supported scenario. This is because the server component does not keep these ports in its internal list of devices and therefore does not listen on notifications for printers attached to these ports. In addition, when a client disconnects or ends a session, all redirected printer queues are deleted in the session; however, because the server component does not know about these printers, they will remain until they are manually deleted. Another possibility is that some other automatic printer queues may be associated with the same ports, causing one client’s output to be sent to another TS user’s local printer.
