RDP Session, provide adequate time for the OS to create printers on login PRINTWAIT

In some cases a Remote Desktop Services session becomes established before the OS can create the printer queues and complete set printers.  So within the ProfitSystem the printers do not appear and the user cannot print.  The solutions are to reduce the number printers availabe to the user and/or place an OS environment setting called PRINTERWAIT

PRINTERWAIT=10

10 is a good starting point to wait.  Increase the number if you find the printers are still not being established before ProfitSystem starts

On a modern PC you go to system properties, advanced tab, environment variables.  The setting can be made user by user.   A System wide setting would be easier to manage.
