Guest Sarah Kingswell Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 One particular terminal server user on a Windows 2003 Terminal server uses printer redirection to map a local HP 1018 Laser Printer. This has been working for a year or so. Just recently the printer has been disappearing from the users profile. They are able to print to it and then it just suddenly disappears. Has anyone experienced this before? -- Solent Carpentry Services Ltd 3 Capel Ley Purbrook Hampshire PO7 5PU Tel: 02392 782875 Mobile: 07721 529512 Privileged/Confidential Information may be contained in this message.

Guest TP Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Re: Redirected Printer Disappears Hi Sarah, This printer is not supported for use with TS by HP. Even if it was supported it would not be a good option because it is host-based. Host based printers are not suitable for TS because they use large amounts of CPU and bandwidth. HP printers supported in Citrix Presentation Server environments June 2008 http://h71028.www7.hp.com/ERC/downloads/4AA0-8465ENW.pdf The *exception* to this rule under 2003 is if you are using a third-party Universal Printer Driver. For stability reasons I would recommend removing the 1018 driver from your server. Disappearing printers is usually a sign of the spooler service crashing. -TP Sarah Kingswell wrote: > One particular terminal server user on a Windows 2003 Terminal server > uses printer redirection to map a local HP 1018 Laser Printer.
