Guest Larry Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I am trying to us the Terminal Server Printer Driver Redirection Wizard to help resolve printer redirection in Server 2008. When I run the Wizard I get an error "Error 6: Terminal Server Printer Driver Redirection Wizard encountered a problem with the WMI subsystem on the server. I have checked and the WMI Service is running. Does any one know why this Wizard will not run.
Guest Alicia Chen [MSFT] Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Re: Terminal Server Printer Driver Redirection Wizard Hi Larry, According to this article--http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=9AD27BE9-40DB-484F-862E-38A094EEEAF7&displaylang=en--the Printer Driver Redirection Wizard is only to resolve redirection errors by creating a custom mapping file. In WS2008, Easy Print addresses the need for custom INF mapping, and the Terminal Server Printer Driver Redirection Wizard is no longer supported. -- Alicia Chen This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Only Easy Print does not address all such issues. Applications written in PowerBuilder do not print correctly to the Easy Print driver. Applications written in Powerbuilder do not print correctly to the Microsoft XPS Document Writer in Vista either (and hence the Easy Print). It would be very helpful if there was a printer redirection feature in 2008 like there is in 2003 - if there is a work around to get printer redirection working in 2008 I would love to hear about it. Thanks
Guest slj333 Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 RE: Terminal Server Printer Driver Redirection Wizard Is there a way to dictate which printers use the Easy print driver and which printers use their drivers? I know with GP you can say, "Use Terminal Server Easy printer Driver first" which I am currently doing. However, I have a couple of printers (1 pdf) that are not working with the Easy print driver.

Guest woodsdarren Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 RE: Terminal Server Printer Driver Redirection Wizard I am in the same boat. I would like to use Easy print for my pdf printers and real drivers for the other printers "slj333" wrote: > Is there a way to dictate which printers use the Easy print driver and which > printers use their drivers?
