So this is certainly a difficult problem with follow me printing.... If all your printers were the same it would be great!... but they're not.
I'm assuming that you're using uttsc... Since we can't add/remove client side printers during a session I would suggest this.... Create a flat file with the printer name and the appropriate windows driver name. Create raw (with no filters) print queues for each of these printers. Edit your CAM script to forward the assigned printer from Location field of SRDB. Your uttsc command line should also specify the windows printer driver contained in the printer-to-driver listing. Then with a utaction -c script, check which printer the NEW DTU has been assigned. If it's a different printer, kill the uttsc process and restart it with the new forwarded printer. This will cause the need to re-login if you switch to a DTU with a different default printer, but your session will remain. Since most users hot desk within a similar area their printer, this may not be that much of an issue. Since I haven't done this yet, I'm thinking that you will need to play with it. There may be issues. -The disconnect logic may be too slow, showing the lock screen first, then disconnecting and reconnecting to the login screen. Not great... but you could find a way to make it faster. -You will need to make sure that all load balancing and affinity is re-established to the exact same server. -You will need to make the printer mapping file available to all FOG members. -Probably other hurdles.
