Redirected Printers

I am wondering if there is anyway to remove redirected printers? When we login  there are always 30-50 printers and the majority of them are redirected. It would not be so bad but you cannot print to the redirected printers.

Obviously, you are supposed to be able to print to them, since they are how a local printer can be accessed from a remote session. Example: You log into Right Networks, but the Excel spreadsheet you create there is something you want to send to a local printer.

I wonder if you don't have a server where you are allowed multiple concurrent sessions? You might want to read some explanations on the web, such as:

And this is the setting I recommend:

I understand how redirected printers work. This is my only program that will not print from them. I have no problems printing from any other program. Did not know if there was a setting within this progam or it just did not allow.
