Printer Redirection

[Guest Golforfood]

I am running Terminal Services on Windows Server 2003 R2. I have 3 users who

are using Remote Desktop to login to Terminal Service. All three users and

coming in from different locations and they all have the same printer an HP

Laserjet P3005 plugged into their local computer. For 2 of the users there

printers are redirecting no problem. The third person's printer is working

locally but not when she logs into Terminal Services. When she logs in her

printer does not even show up. Is there something else I should check on her

local computer? What port should her computer be loaded on her local

computer. She also has other printers plugged into her local computer.

Would this cause any problems.

 

Thanks for your help

Re: Printer Redirection

 

Check the configuration of printer redirection in the RDP client,

update the RDP client to at least the XP SP2 version or apply KB

article 302361 to get support for redirection of non-standard local

port names.

 

302361 - Printers That Use Ports That Do Not Begin With COM, LPT,

or USB Are Not Redirected in a Remote Desktop or Terminal Services

Session
