When you start a Terminal Services session with a local printer connected to your client computer, a redirected print queue is created in the Terminal Services session for your local printer. The print queue uses a set of default printer settings that are determined by Terminal Services. The local printer settings that you define or change offline are not used by Terminal Services.
In the Terminal Services session, you can modify the printer settings for your redirected printer if you have the required privileges (for example, you are a member of the Print Administrators group). The changes that you make in the Terminal Services session are persistent; the printer configuration changes are cached on the client computer for subsequent reconnections. When you reconnect, Terminal Services detects the printer configuration settings that are cached on the client computer and uses them.
Under some circumstances, changes that you make on the printer's Device Settings tab do not persist when you reconnect. The printer configuration information may seem to be lost.
