Guest Ben Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Hi, I've had a problem with a local multifunctional printer/fax/scanner (Canon MP780) not connecting through a TS 2003 session when using MS Windows Vista client. It works fine when using a MS Windows XP Pro client. I've found this to be because of the drivers that are used and the naming of them. Both Microsoft and Canon have said that they don’t think that we can get the device to work so I'm going to purchase a new multifunctional device. Can anyone suggest a multifunctional printer/fax/scanner like the Canon MP780 that they know will print locally through a TS 2003 session when using a MS Windows Vista client? Thanks, Ben
Guest Marius Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 RE: Local Printing on MS Windows Vista and TS 2003 Hi Ben, I can only tell you what kind of driver you have to avoid. Every driver which creates a DOT4-Port for the printer won't work.

Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 RE: Local Printing on MS Windows Vista and TS 2003 The portname is irrelevant, DOT4, My_Weird_Port, all works, as long as you either add the registry value documented in KB 302361 or, better still, use the newest rdp client. _________________________________________________________ Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server TS troubleshooting: http://ts.veranoest.net *----------- Please reply in newsgroup -------------* =?Utf-8?B?QmVu?= <Ben@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote on 27 jul 2007: > Ok thanks, I'll make sure I dont go for a DOT4 driver. > > Thanks, > > Ben > > "Marius" wrote: > >> Hi Ben, >> >> I can only tell you what kind of driver you have to avoid. >> Every driver which creates a DOT4-Port for the printer won't >> work.
