Clients Local Printer Not Printing Golforfood 12.07.2007 15:50:04 I have a Windows 2003 Server R2 running and I have a client who uses Remote Desktop to login. The client can't print to their local printer. I am using Terminal Services. The just purchases a new printer which is an HP Laserjet 3055 All in One. I read a knowledgebase article on Microsoft's web site (Article ID 302361) that says Printers that use ports that do not begin with Com, Lpt, or USB are not redirected in a Remote Desktop or Terminal Services Session. I have made the registry changes on the clients computer and also changed the port from DOT$ to LPT. I still can't print. Is there anything else I can do? I have spent a week on this and the client is trying to run a business. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Re: Clients Local Printer Not Printing Jeff Pitsch <Jeff[ at ]Jeffpitschconsulting.com> 12.07.2007 17:45:12 Did you install the driver on the terminal server? I would test this driver first to make sure it's terminal services compatible, otherwise, your in for a lot of pain.

Do you have the latest RDP client installed? How is the printer connected to the PC? USB? TCP/IP? You can map the printer to a generic HP LaserJet Driver to do basic printing because the printer has PCL. It should at least print. moncho

Re: Clients Local Printer Not Printing Golforfood 12.07.2007 20:00:05 Jeff: I have installed the correct driver on the server, and yes I am in a lot of pain. I have checked the hp website and have the correct driver for windows 2003. Is there a generic driver that I could load on the server? The one that hp shows is laserjet 3055 PCL version 60.051.564.021. "Jeff Pitsch" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Did you install the driver on the terminal server?

It should at least print. How would I do this? The easiest way is to download the Terminal Server Printer Driver Redirection Wizard at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239088/en-us. Then set it to a generic HP LaserJet PCL Printer Driver. moncho
