win 7 pro, fast user switching & printing

[Temmu]

greets! (this may answer part of the question why i was asking about fast user switching)

environmentwindows 7 pro
windows active directory domain (single domain, no others)
domain controllers - both are server 2008 r2
user profiles (desktop, my docs, favorites, et al) on a server share (\\server\profiles\%username%)

printer installation
before deployment, local admin logs on to local pc and adds 2 or 3 HP LJ printers locally, creating a tcp/ip port (10.10.10.10 or some such)​

problem
(fake usernames, problem consistent across machines and users, no exceptions)
suzy powers pc on (from being off overnight)
suzy uses pc, printing is fine
suzy powers off pc
jane powers on pc, printing is fine
suzy discovers pc on, but with "switch user" avaialble
jane is still logged on
suzy switches user, logs on as suzy
suzy cannot print

ideas, o great ones?
thanks for your input!

FWIW - I've never liked this feature myself.

hi, usasma, thanks!

Maybe use Mark Russinovich's Process Explorer to log the failure - then go through the log (it's huge BTW) and see if you can find what's causing the failures?
