Vista, 2003 Terminal and printing

[Guest Freaky]

Hey there,

 

we're having issues with Windows Vista and printing from terminal

server. This works fine when using WindowsXP.

 

We have the issue with multiple printers. For example the Brother

HL-2030. The Brother HL-2030 works fine with 2000/XP/2003 over terminal,

but not with Vista, in the system logs there are also entries that a

driver for Brother HL-2030 could not be found.

 

According to the helpdesk this probably has to do with the different

driver model for Vista. For 2000/XP/2003 the drivers are the same, but

this isn't the case with Vista, therefore 2003 probably sees it as a

different driver than the one it has.

 

Can anyone shed more light on this and perhaps a solution? A better

understanding of where it goes wrong would be great, but solving it

would be better :D.

 

TIA

Re: Vista, 2003 Terminal and printing

 

Try mapping the Brother HL-2030 driver for Vista to the existing

Brother HL-2030 driver on the server. Be carefull to use the

*exact* driver name which is reported in the EventLog, driver names

are case sensitive.

Detailed instructions here (applies to 2003 as well):
