Terminal Server 2008 and Remoteapp - unable to print to networkprinter

[YADER.CELL@gmail.com]

Hi there,

I am testing terminal server 2008 and remote app. However, I ran into
an issue with clients being unable to print from a published remoteapp
session.


If I log into the server with the admin account, I am able to print
via the remote session. If I log into the remoteapp via a power user
account, I simply cannot print. It will refuse to carry over my local
printers to the terminal server. I also understand that the new TS
supports a new printing mechanism called easy print. Well, I guess its
not too easy at all lol.

I temporarily assigned the power user as a temp local admin to see if
its a permission issue. same problem persists, It wont print. A
dialog box will appear asking me to "save file as"


I have also checked via the local computer policies to see if LPT
redirection has been disabled, it is not. BTW, this is a fresh install
of ts2008.

One last thing which I find weird. I am not able to DELETE any
printers with any accounts! including admin / domain admin accounts.

Anyone else having similar issues? My clients are running windows xp
sp3, net 3.0 and latest RDP client. the server is running ts2008 sp1


thanks.

Hi,
The requirement on the client for Easy Print is .NET 3.0 SP1 or higher.
So please upgrade to .NET 3.0 SP1 and see if it fixes the issue.
