Guest rst42 Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Hello, I have a win 2003 standard edition server that is accessed via Remote Desktop by several users running XP on their individual workstations. One of the work stations has an HP USB printer attached, and shared to all other users. The printer works perfectly when used from the work stations. The server has the driver installed for this printer as well (win 2003 version from the HP website.) All users have remote desktop configured to forward the printer. when a user prints from an application on the server, the first print works properly, and then a print job labeled "Remote Desktop Redirected Printer Doc" is sent repeatedly and soon there are thousands clogging the print queue and the printer stops working until the queue is cleared. other information: the repeated jobs show up on the queue manager on the xp machine connected to the printer, and they show n/a under pages and file size shows blank. The printer on the server shows a port name of TS followed by a three digit number. Anybody Have any good ideas? Ray
Guest Bruce Sanderson Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Re: printing problems server 2003, standard You may get more (better?) help if you post (crosspost) your question in the microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax or microsoft.public.windows.vista.print_fax_scan newsgroup. Also, printer drivers are often very idiosyncratic, so it is vital to state what make and model of printer is given the problem. -- Bruce Sanderson http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/ It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

Guest rst42 Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 RE: printing problems server 2003, standard Hello All, Due to suggestions on microsoft.public.windows.server.general I'm cross posting here. It was also suggested that I provide the printer make and model. It is an HP LaserJet 1505 Thyanks, Ray "rst42" wrote: > Hello, > I have a win 2003 standard edition server that is accessed via Remote > Desktop by several users running XP on their individual workstations. > One of the work stations has an HP USB printer attached, and shared to all > other users.

I read your follow-up and saw that it's an HP printer. Here's a couple quick and easy things to try out. 1) Right-click the printer and choose Properties. 2) On the Advanced tab, click the print processor button. 3) If it says anything other than Winprint, change it to Winprint. Make sure default data type is RAW. 4) If you can, make sure it's also Winprint on the client side as well. Try this first. For good measure, restart the print spooler service in case it doesn't accept the Winprint setting. If that doesn't help, I have many more things you can try. - Thee Chicago Wolf
Guest Cari \(MS-MVP\) Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Re: printing problems server 2003, standard You do know XP has a connection limitation? A mere 5 for XP Home and just 10 for XP Pro. If all the network is trying to print to the HP printer on the XP PC, you're probably way over the limitation. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "rst42" <rst42@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:300A888D-25AD-485E-864B-BE0081972AF9@microsoft.com... > Hello All, > Due to suggestions on > microsoft.public.windows.server.general > I'm cross posting here. > It was also suggested that I provide the printer make and model. > It is an HP LaserJet 1505 > Thyanks, > Ray > "rst42" wrote: > >> Hello, >> I have a win 2003 standard edition server that is accessed via Remote >> Desktop by several users running XP on their individual workstations. >> One of the work stations has an HP USB printer attached, and shared to >> all >> other users.

Guest Jon Wojan Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Re: printing problems server 2003, standard SMB connection limitations have nothing to do with the RPC/RDP based connectivity methods used for Terminal Services redirected printing.
