I'm having some major problems with the printers im using in RDP. My problem starts whenever I log on to server 2003 machine via RDP my local printer can be seen in the server side, but for some reason its not default printer. The only way to fix that problems for me is to restart the server and everything works again. Is there anyway to set so that whenever user logs off win 2003 server his local printer would disappear and correct default printer gets assigned to me?

I'll take a shot at this one...
The RDP connection you form when logging in as a certain user will keep their defaults as normal. Have you installed or updated the printer drivers for the specific printer? I ran into something similar and my problem was not having both drivers on both machines. The server I logged into did not have the correct driver for the printer. It was visible but not usable.
Check your Event Viewer in Admin Tools for errors. It should flag something suspicious happening that may turn out as the culprit.
