redirection

I added a print server role to our new 2008 R2 server and started adding printers to it that will be available to Remote Desktop sessions. When I added the Remote Desktop services role, I specified printer redirection, thinking that would be a good thing.

On the PCs where I am testing all this, I added the network printers locally so that they would have the printer available for local use.

When I logon to the 2008 R2 server, I notice that the printers I added are out there twice... once on the 2008 R2 server and an additional time redirected from my PC.

Is there some way to eliminate this duplication w/o eliminating redirection?
