printing issue

[Guest milan]

hello

 

here is my situation

 

 

multiple clients access my office windows server 2003 using remote desktop

web connection

 

 

 

the problem is that they can ONLY print on printers (usb and com ) attached

locally to their computers and not print on printers attached to other

clients

 

 

in short -- can you please provide me a solution where clients can print on

printers attached to other clients

 

 

 

thanks a lot in advance

Re: printing issue

 

This is by design. Redirected printers are only visible and

accessible within the session in which they are redirected.

 

Accessing other clients printers is not different on a TS than

between normal workstations, so you will have to share the printers

on the workstations and then let other users connect to them.

Re: printing issue

 

Well, explain this, then. I have approx. 300 clients accessing an 8 server

farm through load balancing.

 

Last Friday morning, I connected to each of the terminal servers to check

the logs through the tsmmc.msc app. I just happened to do this from the

server where all 84 printers in the company are installed. As soon as I

connected to each TS, all 84 session printers showed up on EVERY users

desktop, even changing their defaults.

 

It was a very stressful morning. I have disabled client printer redirection

until I get this resolved.

Re: printing issue

 

It's seldom a good idea to follow-up on someone else's thread,

because issue as seldom identical and it tends to confuse everyone.

In your case, it seems that you feel that my answer to Milan has a

meaning for your problem too, but it hasn't.

Milan's post, and my answer to it, are about *redirected* printers.

You seem to have a problem with printers installed locally on a TS.

Re: printing issue

 

Hello,

I am having the same problem. I have 2 out of 15 clients that cannot see

other people's shared printers from their sessions. I have their icon set to

permit the desired action but I only see the printers local to the pc being

connected when connected to the terminal server.

 

What could I be missing?
