We have Wyse V30L thin-clients that run WindowsCE 5.0 operating
system and they will remotely connect to our Windows 2003
TerminalServer(also a DC -we know very bad idea) through a
VPN, and we have some questions concerning printing at the
remote side:
1. The remote network will have an All-in-One ethernet-based
printer/ scanner/copier. We have not yet chosen a brand. The
thin-clients will connect to the TS to run an application and to
access the Internet, and will need to print to this AIO from
these apps. Do we simply have to install thedriverfor this AIO
on the TS? We have read threads which state to "map theprinter
to a nativedriver" but we do not know where/how to do this.
No, do *not* install 3rd party printers drivers on the TS, and
especially not for all-in-one printers! Those are nearly always
incompatible with TS and can crash yourprinterspooler or the
wholeserver.
The scanner and copier features will not work over TS anyway.
Here are the detailed instructions on how to map theprinterto a
nativedriver:
239088 - Windows 2000 or WindowsServer2003TerminalServicesserverlogs events 1111, 1105, and 1106http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=239088
2. The Thin-clients have USB ports. If we install a USBprinter
that they can print to locally while using the app on the TS, do
we just install theprinterdriveron the TS? What is considered
a "third- party"driver.
Again, no. A 3rd partydriveris anydriverwhich did *not* come on
theinstallationCD for Windows 2003.
3. Can anyone direct us to a list of TS-compatible printers for
Windows 2003Server32-bit Standard Edition SP1?
SP1? I strongly recommend to install SP2. It contains *lot* of
fixes for known problems:
914962 - List of updates in WindowsServer2003 Service Pack 2http://support..microsoft.com/?kbid=914962
All printers which are included with the OS. Just start the Add aprinterwizard on theserver, and check the list of included
drivers.
Thanks!
You're welcome!

So, if we have a ethernet-based printer on the network - in this case
it is an HP2015dn at IP 10.10.10.141 - here is how we are attempting
to install this on the TS:
1. Add Printer
2. Local Printer...
3. Create new port -choose Hp Standard TCP/IP
4. Supply Printer's IP Address
5. Now, we get the list of available printers and the HP2015 is not
listed.
Are you saying that we cannot use this HP Printer if it is not
listed? Or can we download the WIndows 2003 driver from HP? And if
so, do we choose a PCL5, PCL6 or Post Script driver?
Thanks -sorry for the confusion but want to be clear before purchasing
another printer.
