Terminal Server 2008 and Remoteapp - unable to print to networkprinter

[Guest YADER.CELL@gmail.com]

Hi there,

 

I am testing terminal server 2008 and remote app. However, I ran into

an issue with clients being unable to print from a published remoteapp

session.

 

 

If I log into the server with the admin account, I am able to print

via the remote session. If I log into the remoteapp via a power user

account, I simply cannot print. It will refuse to carry over my local

printers to the terminal server. I also understand that the new TS

supports a new printing mechanism called easy print. Well, I guess its

not too easy at all lol.

 

I temporarily assigned the power user as a temp local admin to see if

its a permission issue. same problem persists, It wont print. A

dialog box will appear asking me to "save file as"

 

 

I have also checked via the local computer policies to see if LPT

redirection has been disabled, it is not. BTW, this is a fresh install

of ts2008.

 

One last thing which I find weird. I am not able to DELETE any

printers with any accounts! including admin / domain admin accounts.

 

Anyone else having similar issues? My clients are running windows xp

sp3, net 3.0 and latest RDP client. the server is running ts2008 sp1

 

 

thanks.

Hi,

The requirement on the client for Easy Print is .NET 3.0 SP1 or higher.

So please upgrade to .NET 3.0 SP1 and see if it fixes the issue.
