Printer Compatability

[Guest Andrew Mallette]

am i correct in assuming that if there are no server drivers for a

printer it can not be supported in windows terminal server 2003. The hp

printer i need to install drivers for is a hp photosmart 3310 which only

offers drivers for windows xp and vista.

There is no way I'd install drivers for a photo printer on a terminal

services. It would most likely be a noncompatible driver and cause

stability issues. Your lucky there is no driver. you can try the

fallback drivers or this article for compatibility:

Hi,

 

If I am reading HP's chart correctly then your printer is not

supported under Terminal Services:

 

HP printers supported in Citrix Presentation Server environments - July 2007
