Hi,
We are running Windows 2003 x64 as a terminal server. We have a home user
with a Laserjet 3050 but she is unable to print at home. I tried to install
the x64 driver from HP but it is a univeral driver and when I try and add the
32 bit drivers in windows it will not accept them because it says they are
not for that printer. How can I get this printer working for 32 bit xp pro
user?
Thanks
Jared

I tried posting this on the HP forum but got no replies and don't really
know where else is best to ask.

You will have to add the printer driver from a 32 bit client with the
authority to add the printer. you can't add a 32 bit print driver from any 64
bit client or on the 64 bit server since it is in essence acting as a print
server, if I read your post correctly.

You may have to connect to the printer on the TS server directly (as you
would a print server) and add the driver that way as well. (kinda cheating
the system). If the TS server is seen as a print server this can work.

May not solve this, but it is just an idea. I have used this approach for
adding 64 bit drivers (for 64 bit Vista machine) to a 32 bit print server.

RE: LaserJet 3050 Windows x64 Terminal Services can't install driv

Hi,
I don't really understand how to do this.
I tried to just install the x64 drivers but it asks where is the printer so
I choose one of the TS ports and it will install but doesn't work. How do I
tell the home user's printer that these are the drivers it needs? And as the
home user is using XP pro I assume I also need the x32 bit drivers, I haven't
installed these yet because I can't see how I tell the printer to use these
drivers.
Thanks a lot
Jared

RE: LaserJet 3050 Windows x64 Terminal Services can't install driv

You create a custom ntprintsubs.inf file, which basically is a
translation table, telling the TS: if the remote printer is model
XXX, use driver YYY.

That's explained in detail here:

239088 - Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services
server logs events 1111, 1105, and 1106
