I've run into a weird, persistent issue regarding a remote desktop connection.

Every time I successfully log into a server running Windows Server 2003 SBS, without taking any further action, after a few seconds a print job spontaneously appears on my machine, titled "Remote Desktop Redirected Printer Doc".

The document is 4K, datatype RAW, processor "WinPrint".

I've heard of people running into this issue before, but can't seem to hunt down a coherent solution. It's a minor annoyance, but I get annoyed when Windows complains about a print job that, as far as I know, came from nowhere.

Any thoughts on why this would occur and how I could prevent it from happening?

Does this happen with more than the one server? Does redirected printing work otherwise? What have you tried so far? – techie007 Sep 1 '11 at 20:00
This only happens with one particular server; redirected printing does not seem to work for me at all, though admittedly I hadn't tried it before you asked. I don't really have a need to perform redirected printing; I'm mostly monitoring logs and such on that server. – Jim Dagg Sep 7 '11 at 16:55

This happens to me all the time! I noticed my computer was booting slow, i think this is why! http://ow.ly/i/irAm and http://ow.ly/i/irAx – bittersweetryan Oct 3 '11 at 12:27
