TS local printing woes

April 15, 2008

Hello. We are running Windows 2003 Std Server with Terminal Services. One of

our remote clients was set up with an Hp 1505 local printer. After choosing

Printers in Local Resources on the rdp client, things worked just as planned

for 1 week. Now, without any changes being made that I know of, the user

cannot print locally. The print job just sits there. (this particular client

is only at this wkstn once a week, so does it have something to do with it

being subsequent new sessions now?) Is there a way to force printing locally?

Also, we went into AD and configured this user's properties on the Sessions

tab to End Session when the connection is broken. Thanks

After doing some more research into our problem, I have found that printing

locally thru TS worked correctly for 2 users the first time only. On

subsequent days, that is subsequent logons, the local printer would not work.

It would seem to me that the problem is session related. (new session trying

to access a printer from an older session???) Any tweeks much appreciated.
