Strange printers installed

Dear friends, I'm using aGetPrinters() to list the installed printers. One of my customers gets a series of strange printers installed, something like this:

Code: Select all  Expand view
S405(GS) (reindirizzamento 2)


What could they be?

Enrico, These are printers redirected in the remote session.
Best regards,
Otto

Thank you Otto. Do you mean, Remote Desktop or what? Can they be hidden from aGetPrinters()?

Enrico, yes. Every time someone enters with RDP and redirect printers checked, a new "printer redirected" is installed.
I think you can search for "redirected" in the printer name and disregard those.

Best regards,
Otto
