Universal Printer Preview Shows on Wrong Workstation

Hi

I have a customer using 4 workstations. They are all using the same Portable client which obviously uses the sames Windows User to login into the the TSPlus server. When they print a report using the Universal Printer the pdf preview does not open on the workstation that that printed the report. Instead it can pop-up on any of the 4 workstations. Is this normal as I have not seen this before even though I have other clients working this way.

This occurred on Windows Server 2016 64bit and TS Plus 10.30.5.23.

To solve the problem I had to create 4 Windows Users and create 4 portable clients each with their own Windows login. In the past I have tried to avoid creating multiple Windows users for the same customer because they are always changing users etc. so I just create the one portable client and allow multiple sessions. This way I am not constantly configuring users and security etc on the server. I just do it once and I am done.

Is this a bug and what is the recommended procedure.

Simon

Hello,

This is the recommended procedure for such cases because some applications do not behave correctly with remote printing such as Open Office.
