Guest Cary Shultz Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Good afternoon! I have a hopefully simple question regarding printing within a TS environment. First off - environment is single Windows Server 2003 R2 (SP2 32-bit) AD Domain and the TS box is a member server of that domain. I have implemented the ntprintsubs.inf (the two entries in the registry are correct) and am seeing an error entry on the TS box in the Event Logs. Question: upon reviewing the ntprintsubs.inf file I have noticed that one printer (on the left side of the file) will have multiple entries (on the right side) as a possible mapping. Is this possible? Here is an example of what I mean: "HP LaserJet 6L" = "HP LaserJet 4" "HP LaserJet 6L" = "HP LaserJet 4L" "HP LaserJet 6L" = "HP LaserJet 5L" "HP LaserJet 6L" = "HP LaserJet 6L PCL" "HP LaserJet 6L" = "HP LaserJet 6L" "HP LaserJet 6L" = "HP LaserJet" Shouldn't there be just one mapping possible? I have noticed this for several different printers..... [sIDENOTE: I have also implemented the Fallback Printer Driver - do I even need to worry about the ntprintsubs.inf file?] Thanks, -- Cary W.

Guest George Valkov Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Re: printing in TS...yes, that! Hallo Cary! I excuse for not replaying to you questions (I don't have the experience to). But I thing I've tried this once (a few years ago): Leave my home PC (2003 ent. stand alone server) turned on. Go to the printing center, sit on an XP workstartion, remote desktop attaching the printers and print. I believe it should be that easy.

Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Re: printing in TS...yes, that! Hi Cary! Yes, that's incorrect. The entries should be the other way around: "HP LaserJet 4" = "HP LaserJet 6L" "HP LaserJet 4L" = "HP LaserJet 6L" etc. and: "HP LaserJet 6L" = "HP LaserJet 6L" is not necessary at all.
