Terminal Services printing problem

September 7, 2007

Good morning,

I'm having a problem printing in Terminal Services on a Windows 2003 Server.

The printer works fine locally and is a LaserJet 1300 connected via a

parallel port. However, when I connect to the server the printer does not

show up. The driver is loaded on the server and I checked Event Viewer to

see if it was complaining about it and there are no entries. There are for

the other printer on the PC since those drivers are not loaded, which is ok.

It also does not seem to be even creating a TS port for that printer. Any

ideas would be much appreciated.

Re: Terminal Services printing problem

I figured it out - HP had installed some proprietary port locally. Changed

it to LPT1, and voila!
