Default Printer

[Guest Steven]

Hello MVP's!

 

Currently all users printers are rolling into their TS sessions successfully

however I would like only there default to role in and stay selected as there

default printer. Right now it brings in too many and the default keeps

changing.

Re: Default Printer

 

Hi Vera,

 

Thank you for your quick response and article. However I do have some

questions.

The article refers to a hotfix and then a registry change. Is the hotfix

roled into the latest service pack or do I call MS for that, article a little

confusing on that part. Second, I'm looking at pushing this out large scale,

I can do the registry change via GPO but hopeing I can do with hotfix, msi,

exe; any ideas? Lastly, I checked 4 TS's and 4 clients with latest service

packs and the registry subkeys / path is not found, or at least the last part

\default\addins\rdpdr so I'm wondering if the hkeys are added with the

hotfix. The artcle indicates that they should already be there accept the

DWORD of course. Hope this makes sense and thank you fo ryour help.

Re: Default Printer

 

The hotfix seems to consist of the newest rdp client, version 6.0

So you can just as well install that through Windows Update.

 

The registry value must be added on the *client*, not on the Terminal

Server.

I've checked a couple of clients, and I don't have the whole registry

path either in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, but it's there in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

 

As the article says, you can create the RedirectDefaultPrinterOnly

value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, whatever suits

you best.

 

If you want to configure this for the client, not for specific users

of the client, then you just create the complete path to the registry

key.

 

If you import the value into the registry from a .reg file, the

complete path is automatically created.
