Guest Pearl Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 I may need to create an association file like the "wtsuprn.inf" file of old to allow some of our network printers to print thru our Terminal Server. However, I wonder if I create this file and make the drive associations if it will mean that "all" printers have to use this file? I have over 100 Term users and some have redirected local printers that work fine now. I'd hate to do this and find that it causes more problems. I'm trying to resolve printing for only a few users who need a special printer. So, the question is: can I create the wtsuprn.inf file and still have other users use their local redirected printers?
Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Re: wtsuprn.inf wtsuprn.inf is used by Citrix. On plain Windows TS, it's c:\winnt\inf\ntprint.inf. However, it's recommended to create a new, customized file, let's call it ntprintsubs.inf. This file is defined in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet \Control\Terminal Server\Wds\rdpwd, which means that it is a server-wide setting. However, creating a custom driver mapping should not interfere with other driver mappings.
