It is exceedingly likely that you need to adjust the TSAC or RDP client settings so that WTS will use the local default printer as the Terminal Server default printer; you'll need to load the drivers for each of the printers on the remote clients on Terminal Server (bring up the Printer dialog, and without selecting a printer, right-click and select Server Properties, and add the printer driver to the list of known printer drivers.)
Since the range of printers to be supported will be large, and may involve multiple different port IDs, you'll want to clear out the Expr, Tag and Tag2 field memos of the first record of each of the FRX files that will be printed to the local printers. In addition, you'll need to install the local printers on Terminal Server Remote port IDs on Terminal Server so that they get mapped accordingly and assigned as the default printer.
It's a bit of a cumbersome task if there are lots of different local printer types involved, and if a custom paper size is involved (a problem I have with some of my WTS clients that run label printers locally) you may have a few additional gyrations to go through. The TS Administrator really ought to manage this issue for you.
