I received an email this morning from my boss and he has been working
on a printer issue for a while now. He sent me what's happening and
what he has done:


User has a HP Officejet 5610 at home. They connect to a server using
RDP session and need to print to their 5610,


but the 5610 print driver isn't supported on Windows 2003. We've
installed Redirector on the server and pointed the


5600 series to a 990c and a 550c. It looks like it's printing (we see
it go from server queue to local queue), but nothing prints.


It just disappears from the local queue.


Thanks!


If anyone in this group has any idea or any experience with a problem
like this I would greatly appreciate the help.


Thanks in Advance.
 
RE: HP officejet 5610

Three words. "Universal Printer Driver". If you want to continure to play
try this driver, try that driver... there are hundreds of posts in this forum
and on www.brianmadden.com to which you can refer. In my mind, time is
money, and a UPD is less expensive that the amount of time administrators
spend trying to support each new printer.

Server 2008 TS has a UPD called Easy Print, which should support all client
printers, assuming the client is Vista SP1 or XP SP3 with RDP Client 6.1.

Alternatively one can try products like Print-IT, ThinPrint, UniPrint,
Simplify Printing... all of which are good Universal Printer Drivers, but
each has a different feature set.

Things to look at in a UPD are:

Support for different Client OS
Support for Session Printers (printers hosted on a Windows Print Server that
are added to a user's session via policy using the UPD)
Gateway Printing - Support for remote thin clients on a different network
than the Terminal Servers
Compression
Speed (first page prints as soon as it's generated, instead of waiting for
the entire job to be transferred to the client)
Stability
Support
Quality
Maturity of the product

Patrick,

I have the same issue, and agree with you on the UPD line. Is there any one
you would particularly recommend? Also, do any of them do macs as well, as we
have a few of these that need the same support?

Thanks

RE: HP officejet 5610

The ones I prefer are our Print-IT Product (also a module of Virtual Access
Suite) and Thin Print's .Print RDP Engine. As far as I know none support
Apple Client Printers. If you have a Windows Print Server in the location of
the Apple Computers, you could do Gateway Printing (Print Relay) to print
from the TS Session to the printer.
