Now where was THIS article when I was giving myself a crash course on Terminal servers?

Right down to that last one. We had a bunch of printers that wouldn't redirect, turned out to be only TCP/IP. That last article with changing the key to ffffffff did the trick. Ended up writing a small batch file with the Terminal icon attached to it for all the users to ensure printing was constant too.

Thanks!

Trying to run the redirection wizard on Windows Server 2003 X64d getting 'error 3' no Version 3 Mini Drivers Installed. Install at least one. Looked all over the support groups to find out how to install a version 3 mini driver to no avail. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Fantastic article - great information which seems very hard to find. Especially since the problems I was having seemed very common.

All is well now though - Thanks.

question: what kind of permissions are required for regular end users to add their own printers to windows 2003 x64 terminal server?

We have several remote users running XP accessing terminal server (2003). We

recently added our first Vista client, but when connected, none of the local

printers appear. The printer is connected via USB and all local resources

are enabled. The XP clients required a FilterQueueType"=dword:ffffffff

registry entry but this has not made a difference to the Vista client.

The printer works fine locally

My new laptop doesn't have a parellal

port. How do I print remotely using a USB printer ?

Thanks in advance

Is it possible to change the Terminal Server Fallback Printer Driver?

I'm using a Brother printer and the HP Deskjet 500 does not work.

Monica - there was an issue with the provider that housed the images for the blog. That has since been resolved, so you should be seeing the blog as normal (black text on white background). If you are not, you should clear out the browser cache / temporary files ...

After reading this, I was wondering. Is there away that you can rename the printer that was autocreated?

I have changed printers to the CP1215 from HP. I have installed the same drivers on the server that are installed on the client (Vista Home). When I attempt to print from the TS session, the print job shows up in the print queue but does not print to the print device without a Print Spooler restart, and then the job hangs in the print queue and does not allow subsequent prints to be processed.

Any help would be appreciated.

We have 6 Terminal Server, when some TS client can't find print, we suggested him to log-on another Terminal Server which has the same settings, then print was found. This problem occurs all the time, and we don't know why??

I'm having the same problem, except with a Dell printer.

A Dell Photo AIO Printer 924 to be more precise.

Job shows up in the queue, but nothing happens.

I am unable to print a testpage, print from notepad, Word etc, all jobs show in the queue but nothing happens.

All other printer are redirected just fine and work like a charm, except for this one.

I am having an issue where the printer redirects fine and works for a little while. The at random times some of the redirected printers just stop. Even if they log off and login again their printer won't print. They only way I can fix this is by deleting their user from AD and adding it again. I am on using TS on Server 2008

Thanks for this useful article, almost 4 days checking, everything looked to be all right. I do not know why but Windows Printer mapping checkbox was selected.

Tons of Thanks

We have a x200 laptop with a physically attached HP2200, that works fine locally, but won't show up in TS. We tried applying the registry change, but the printer still won't show up in TS. The Lenovo X200 has no printer port. We tried setting it up as an LPT, but you cannot. Please advise.

THanks!!

We are currently having issues in our terminal server. when the user logs off from the session the redirected printer is/are not automatically deleted from the server. So when the user log back in, it end with two printers, one on the current session the user is logged and the second one from the old session that is no longer on the server. The printer therefore doesn't work properly.

currently to fix this issue we have to log off the user and then manually as administrator delete all the redirected printers from the system.

I have the profile hive cleaner installed and its still same issue.

Any ideas?
