Experiencing a strange issue. Server 2003 Standard R2 box running terminal services. When clients connect and bring their local printers they show up as "<printername> from <computername> in session <ID>" however it seems when they disconnect the Printer remains on the server's list.
For example you would see "Printer1 (from PC1 in session 3)" but also see "Printer1 (from PC2 in session3)" in the same list.
I've had the same printer showing up under 3 or 4 different PCs under the same session ID.

Any ideas what might cause this? It's causing havoc with print response times and i've so far had to go in daily and manually delete the printers from sessions that are not present under terminal services.
 
They should be purged when the system next polls the printers list. Are the sessions being logged off correctly or just 'disconnected'?
