Terminal Server and remote printing problem

We're running Windows Server 2003 and using Remote Desktop Client to connect.

Due to the way our accounting system is designed, I MUST have printers for the remote clients already setup. I can't let the printers be created automatically when the user logs in. Unfortunately, this creates a problem with our remote offices. If I allow auto-created printers, I'd have to change their printers within the accounting application each time they connect since the accounting app isn't smart enough to attach to the printer that's created by the client. I thought I could set the server-side printer drivers to use one of the unused TSxxx ports, but it seems like TS wants to assign a random TSxxx port to the remote printer each time a new session is started.

Surely, there's a way I can force the client and the server to use the same TSxxx ports each time.

I'd appreciate any assistance or suggestions I can get. I've been looking all over the place and haven't been able to find anything that relates to my specific problem. I'm beginning to think I'll have to figure out some sort of scripting-related solution. Since I'm a scripting n00b, I'd like to avoid that if I can.
