wtsuprn.inf

[Pearl]

I may need to create an association file like the "wtsuprn.inf" file of old
to allow some of our network printers to print thru our Terminal Server.
However, I wonder if I create this file and make the drive associations if it
will mean that "all" printers have to use this file? I have over 100 Term
users and some have redirected local printers that work fine now. I'd hate
to do this and find that it causes more problems. I'm trying to resolve
printing for only a few users who need a special printer. So, the question
is: can I create the wtsuprn.inf file and still have other users use their
local redirected printers?

Re: wtsuprn.inf

wtsuprn.inf is used by Citrix.
On plain Windows TS, it's c:\winnt\inf\ntprint.inf.
However, it's recommended to create a new, customized file, let's
call it ntprintsubs.inf.

This file is defined in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet
\Control\Terminal Server\Wds\rdpwd, which means that it is a
server-wide setting.

However, creating a custom driver mapping should not interfere with
other driver mappings.

Detailed instructions here (applies to 2003 as well):

1105, and 1106

Thanks Vera
I'll read the document and try it. Hopefully, it will do the trick.
