Guest David Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Hi, I have a 32bit 2008 Enterprise TS running and I'm having issues with Easy print. The clients are XP SP3 with .NET 3.5, or Vista SP1 with .NET 3.5. When a user logs on, he sees the redirected printers without me having to install any driver. Great... Now when someone prints something, the text comes out garbled. (pictures are ok) I uploaded a few examples I scanned to my personal webpage @ http://users.telenet.be/obsession2001/easyprint.zip (348kb) * Mail1.jpg = Printout Outlook 2007. Headers appear fine. Text is jibberish except a few small words at the end (part of my signature - not entire signature is ok) * Excel.pdf = printout Excel 2003. All jibberish ; Word is the same, but I don't have an example of this. * CutePDF.pdf = print to client's redirected CutePDF. Character spacing incorrect. * xps.xps = print to the redirected XPS printer: I get a window on the client where it asks to save the print, this one is fine. If I use a Windows 2008 as a client to connect to a 2008 TS, all printouts are fine. I verified all are running the same mstsc.exe version (6.0.6001.18000). I even installed a 32bit 2008 Enterprise TS in Vmware but I get the same result. So it's a client issue most likely but I've been searching for hours and found nothing. Anyone who can help me here? regards David

Guest Kristian Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Re: 2008 Easy print issue Hello David! I have exactly the same issue but my server is running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x64. Strange that there is so little information about Easy Print because the concept is great. I will post back here if I find a solution.

Guest Mischa Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Re: 2008 Easy print issue The same Problem but only with Windows XP Clients (all Updates incl. SP3 are installed).

Guest Mischa Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 RE: 2008 Easy print issue Somme news: Its something with the Fonts being used: A print to the printer with Times New Roman from Word / Excel change the font to a "sick version" of Arial. Character spacing is incorrect and its change to a Sanserif Font. A print with Times New Roman to CutePDF and then to a hard copy looks the same. A print to the printer with Calibri from Word / Excel change the font to a Symbol one. A print with Calibri to CutePDF and then to the printer looks good. A print with Arial looks in both ways good. More examples and suggestions for a quick solution are welcome Mischa "David" wrote: > Hi, > > I have a 32bit 2008 Enterprise TS running and I'm having issues with Easy > print. > > The clients are XP SP3 with .NET 3.5, or Vista SP1 with .NET 3.5. > When a user logs on, he sees the redirected printers without me having to > install any driver.

Guest slj333 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 RE: 2008 Easy print issue It sounds like there are some issues with the Easy Print Driver? Does this behaviour occur when sending to any device or only with certain printers (with the Easy Print Driver)?

Guest David Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Re: 2008 Easy print issue It happens to every printer. The only one that works is the XPS printer. But the users are annoyed that they can't print directly. It takes too much time. "slj333" wrote > It sounds like there are some issues with the Easy Print Driver?
