Re: mapped printer settings do not carry over

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

This is by design. Documented here:

291251 - Non-default printer properties are not reflected in a
Terminal Services redirected printer
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=291251

But once the users have configured the printers in their sessions,
the settings should be cached nd available for later sessions. BUT:
check this also:

243942 - Terminal Services printer redirection not signaled on
change to server-side Device Settings tab in Windows 2000 or
Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=243942

You could also install the printers directly on the Terminal
Server, which would make them available to all users.

Hello,

We have a print server (W2K) in a remote office with 5 different
printers loaded on it. We also have a few instances where the
same physical printer is on there more that once, each time with
differnt settings. One that automatically prints from tray 2,
one that automatically prints duplex and so one. All for the end
user, you know what I mean.

My question is, when we map these printers to the users session
(W2K3 Terminal Server, RDP 5.?) the settings do not follow. The
Duplex printer does not print duplex automatically, the tray 2
printer (for letter head) prints out of tray 1. If I look at the
device settings they look like the default ones that are created
when you first install a printer, they are not the same as on
the local side.

Is there a way to have these settings follow along when the
printer is mapped?
