Printer Compatability

[Andrew Mallette]

am i correct in assuming that if there are no server drivers for a
printer it can not be supported in windows terminal server 2003. The hp
printer i need to install drivers for is a hp photosmart 3310 which only
offers drivers for windows xp and vista.

There is no way I'd install drivers for a photo printer on a terminal
services. It would most likely be a noncompatible driver and cause
stability issues. Your lucky there is no driver. you can try the
fallback drivers or this article for compatibility:

Hi,

If I am reading HP's chart correctly then your printer is not
supported under Terminal Services:

HP printers supported in Citrix Presentation Server environments - July 2007
