Duplicate Printers under Printer Folder

Hi people,
I have a fairly simple problem to solve, but as time
passes by, my users are starting to get agitated. We have
a VB application running under TS. Once users logon, they
are able to print through the application. What seems to
be happeining recently is that users are starting to
complain about seeing double printer names when they wish
to print. At one point, I saw over 1000 objects under the
printer folder. I only have 200 users that use the TS, so
it was obvious that something was wrong. I configured the
sessions tab to release user sessions after one minute
from the time they disconnect. But the TS seems to be
holding their session even after they disconnect from the
server. Did anyone run into similar problems, adn if so
what did you do to solve it.
Thanks in advance.
 
If you open up the tsadmin.exe utility, can you see that
each user has multiple sessions open?

The problem is not with user sessions, it's with the
printers. Even after a user disconnects and their session
is not active, their printer is still visible under the
printers folder. I cannot seem to clear the printer from a
previous session unless I restart the server, then all the
printers are purged and the printers folder is clean. As
users logon it starts to fill up once again, however, once
they log off the printer is still active.
 
What service pack are you at on the server?

Mathew,
I am currently still running SP3 due to the number of
problems I have heard people complain when running TS
under SP4. What would you suggest?
