I read the KB article, but this is not what is happening. The printers are
being labeled Printer Name (session 1), Printer Name (session 2), etc. It
appears to be happening with only one user that has two local printers.
The only thing the KB article mentioned that is happening is that nothing
prints if the user prints to the wrong one (obviously).

Are there any print jobs left in those printers, probably with an
"error" status? That could cause the automatic removal of the
printer to fail.
If this is a one-time problem, you can clean up the printer by
deleting it from the registry on the TS. You'll find it under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
But if the problem occurs again, I would closely monitor the user
and the printers while the user connects and disconnects.
Did you install any 3th party printer drivers for these printers?
If so, that could be the problem. If that's the case, uninstall
the driver and map it to a native driver on the server.

Found it isn't happening with only one user or printer. It's happening with
all users and all printers. The printers are a mix of Lexmark, Dell
(whoever makes them) and HP Lasers and DeskJets.
