Guest jacob@nowhere.com Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Hello, I am having an issue where I am logging in to a Windows Server 2003 server from a Remote Desktop Session and have checked the option to use the local printers installed on the PC I am "RDPing" from as resources in my RDP session. Once I get logged into the server I start receiving a huge amount of "Remote Desktop Redirected Printer Doc" entires(print jobs) in at least two of my print queues on my local machine. This happens everytime I RDP to this server and I am not creating any print jobs on the server at all. They never stop being sent and they will eventually bring one of my print queues down till I clear out all the excess print jobs. Of course if I uncheck the box to use the printers on my local machine as a resource during the RDP session, the issue will not occur but I would like to see some type of better solution than this as I would rather not have to worry about doing that every time I need to RDP to this server. If anyone has any information regarding this it is much appreciated. Thanks, -- Jake
Guest Roger Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 RE: Remote Desktop to Server 2003 Printer Issue Jake, This is not an answer to your question/problem, I have exacty the same issue and I am tearing my already in short supply hair out! Did you find a solution, r has any one out there got a solution t mulltiple Remote Desktop Redirected Printer Doc 's eing produced when logging in to our 2003 Windows Server, we use a SBS server as a Domain controller and Exchange server.

Guest Anthony [MVP] Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Re: Remote Desktop to Server 2003 Printer Issue Jake, We should be able to narrow this down. Who is creating the print jobs and on what printer? They are obviously not receiving their job. What is the connection, if any, between the printer the print jobs were sent to and the printer on your local PC that they are arriving at? How is your PC connected to the printer that is receiving the print jobs: is it directly connected or a network printer? If network, what is the print server? Is it the server you are RDPing to?

Guest jacob@nowhere.com Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Re: Remote Desktop to Server 2003 Printer Issue I will try and answer all the questions you just sent but if I miss any just let me know and I will respond as quick as I can. So right now the printer that keeps getting these print jobs is a color laser high output printer/copier in our office. This printer is available through a print server. This print server just so happens to BE the server that I am connecting to via RDP. The print jobs are all remote desktop redirected print jobs. They all get sent to the printer but they never end up getting printed or even look like they are in the printer/copier's queue at it's console. Let me know if you need any more information.

Guest Anthony [MVP] Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Re: Remote Desktop to Server 2003 Printer Issue Which server is the Terminal Server that people are using? Is it also the Print Server? What errors do you have on the Terminal Server for all the failed print jobs? Does the printer/copier have terminal services-compliant drivers?

Guest jacob@nowhere.com Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Re: Remote Desktop to Server 2003 Printer Issue I hope this explanation helps. The server that we are trying to RDP into is just a server that Sys Admin's in our business connect to. Normal users never end up connecting to it through RDP and it is not a terminal server. We are using "terminal services" to Remote into the server but this is not a terminal server. We actually don't have a terminal server in our business, that is to say we only use the client to client terminal services on our internal network through RDP. As for errors. We aren't seeing any errors on the server we are "remoted" into or on the PC that we are "remoting" from. So maybe the best way to describe this, is step by step. -So first I open a remote desktop connection and type in the server that I am connecting to. Which does happen to be the print server for most all of the printers in our network. -Once I am logged in remotely to this server from my PC, I start to see print jobs popping into this printer's queue on MY PC. You can also see this print jobs accumulating on the print server by going into printers and faxes on the server and checking this particular's printers queue. -If I log out of the remote session these print jobs will stop being queued up. They will eventually say they are printing and will take themselves out of the queue when finished but the wierd thing is, the printer printed nothing from these jobs. It didn't even print a blank sheet of paper, it just never printed anything. Yet the jobs are cleared out of the queue like they had been printed. In regards to your question about the print drivers for this printer and if they are terminal services compliant, I will have to do some more research to find that out. If I do find something in regards to this from the manufactuer I will let you know what happens when installing those new drivers. Although I have noticed that this issue will send these "ghost" print jobs to other printers listed in my local printers and faxes, such as the Adobe PDF printer or another network printer. I hope this clears things up. Again, let me know if you need more information. Thanks for your help, -- Jake "Anthony [MVP]" wrote: > Which server is the Terminal Server that people are using?

Guest Anthony [MVP] Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Re: Remote Desktop to Server 2003 Printer Issue Hi Jake, so: - You are RDP'ing to the print server - You get phantom print jobs in your redirected printer queue - There are no errors relating to printing on the print server or the PC. What I would do is: - Disable printer redirection on the print server. You can do that from the Terminal Services Manager console. - Check the drivers of the printers on the print server and remove any that are non-standard - In regedit, for your own HKCU (when you are logged on to the PC or server), delete unwanted printers from HKCU\Printers\Connections. - Probably not connect the high volume copier to the print server, but print to it directly. It probably is a print server itself, Hope that helps, Anthony, http://www.airdesk.com "jacob@nowhere.com" <jacobnowherecom@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:50087530-D513-4A66-9E9A-9BE9475F1261@microsoft.com... > I hope this explanation helps. > > The server that we are trying to RDP into is just a server that Sys > Admin's > in our business connect to.
