Hello,
I have a situation where if I log in to my 2003 SP1 TS server as domain
admin, I can see the USB HP 1505N redirected printer in the listing. If I
print a test page it works then I log off.
When I log in as a regular user, I see the printer redirected and I go to
print a test page and it doesn't get to the printer. It shows in the queue as
a job pending but never completes. If I try and cancel the job it will just
show deleting so then I try to log off the session and it never completes, it
just shows saving settings in the window. For me to get the printing working
again, I have to log back in as admin, restart the print spool service then
delete the 1505N printer from the last session that was created when logged
in as the regular user. I have a 2000 Terminal server that works just fine
whether it is an admin or regular user.
To add to this, both servers are using the same driver that is installed on
the local machine that has the printer installed on it.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions,
Thanks - JH
