Re: Printing issue



You mean that the local printers are not redirected in the
sessions?
Basically, there are 2 areas where printer redirection can fail:

1. redirection is not attempted at all
Solution: check the configuration of printer redirection in the RDP
client and on the Terminal Server, update the RDP client to at
least the XP SP2 version or apply KB article 302361 to get support
for redirection of non-standard local port names, including tcp/ip
ports.

2. redirection is attempted, but fails because the server doesn't
have a driver for the printer
Solution: whatever you do, do not install a 3rd party printer
driver on the Terminal Server, unless it is a Windows Hardware
Quality Labs (WHQL) signed driver. Many non-WHQL drivers are not
TS-compatible, and some are known to crash your printer spooler or
the whole server. In stead, map the printer to a native driver by
creating a custom ntprintsubs.inf file, as described in KB article
239088.

If you are running Windows 2003 SP1 on your Terminal Server, you
can configure a Fallback Printer Driver:

I am having a printing issue through TS Let me lay it out on
what i am trying to do:

We have a TS Box that clients are going to access from outside.
Client hits the TS Box then loads the Dbase software on another
server all servers are 2003 all updates done.

Client Side:
All machines are WS 2000 pro
Downloaded Remote Desktop on these boxes. Check off in local
resources to bring printers

For the life of me i cant seem to get the damn printersto come
with the clients.
