printing in TS...yes, that!

[Guest Cary Shultz]

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,

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.

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.
