Only native drivers (i.e. those that came with the Windows 2003 CD
ROM) + other WHQL signed drivers are guaranteed to be OK.
Some manufacturers have their own list of which drivers they have
tested and verified with TS, like HP:
HP Printers Supported in Citrix MetaFrame Presentation and Terminal
Server Environments
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?
objectID=c00213455
If you have to support many different printers, then it would be
wise to buy a "driver free" printing solution, like ThinPrint,
triCerat's ScrewDrivers, Provision Networks' Print-IT, INGENICA's
UniPrint.

Does someone, Ie Microsoft or printer manufacturers have a list.
of which printers will definitaly work in a TS environment. How
can I advise my customers whether or not the printer they wish
to purchase is compatible. it seems to be a major problem with
no easy answers.

I have 2 servers setup in a domain. One is a SBS2003 Server
(Domain Controller) and the other is a 2003 Server (Terminal
Server).
Users are connecting remotely to the Terminal server using
RDP. In the last few days a major problem has appeared where
the print jobs seem to be wanting to be printed to local
printers even though no print jobs have been selected. If I
disable the printer option on the remote desktop program the
problem goes away for that particular user. At times many
thousands of print jobs are attemtping to be printed and the
Domain controller's system resources are also used.
Eventually both servers beging to close down apps and
programs and need to be restarted to clear the problem.
Once restarted the whole process starts again.
one of the event logs from the system log on the domain
controller that appeared many hundreds of time is shown here.
EVENT ID 6161
The document Remote Desktop Redirected Printer Doc owned by
Elenita failed to print on printer HPLaserJet 1022n. Data
type: RAW. Size of the spool file in bytes: 0. Number of
bytes printed: 0. Total number of pages in the document: 1.
Number of pages printed: 0. Client machine: \\192.168.1.126.
Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 0. The
operation completed successfully.
In my opinion the problem may be coming from the terminal
server because the print jobs are continually appearing when
connected to it.
I would really appreciate is someone could help with this
problem as it is causing a great deal of frustration.
I've seen this when people use NON-TS compliant printers -
typically an Inkjet piece of junk they got free with their
computer. I've also seen terminal servers slow to a point that
you can't login because of bad drivers.
Lexmark is one of the worst when it comes to drivers and T/S.
