How to disable printer installs on RDP connect?
I have noted in the Event Viewer that whenever I connect an RDP
session to a remote computer it tries to install drivers for all of
the printers I have registered on my laptop (from which I work).
It is very annoying to have my private printer names and servers show
up in the event logs on the target machines....

Is there any way to disable this functionality such that my RDP
session will get access only to the printers that are actually
accessible from the remote PC to which I connect, i.e. printers on the
actual remote network.

When I connect I either dial-in or use VPN over the Internet, in both
cases my registered printers on my laptop have no business being
listed on the remote computer. They are clearly non-accsessible from
there.

Grateful for pointers on this.
