Cannot print from office

[Sarah Kingswell]

I am running office 2002 in a terminal server environment. One of the users
cannot print from excel, word, outlook. Only the office suite appears to be
affected. Each application returns a different type of error. Mainly,
check cables, reinstall driver etc. The user can print a test page and can
print from Sage.

This is the second time this has happened in the last 6 months. Previously
I had to recreate the users profile but I don't want to have to do this each
time it stops printing. The printer is an HP officejet Pro 550 and maps as
a session printer attached the to thin clients usb port.

Is there anyway I can fix this without recreating the profile?

In this case, most likely not. In the future I would look to try different
print drivers. I'm guessing you've installed the driver from a CD or
something. My guess is the print driver is not 100% terminal services
compatible. I would look to find a compatible driver. something off the
Windows CD itself or use the fallback drivers available with Win2k3 SP2.

Re: Cannot print from office

Hi Jeff

Thanks for your response.

I have installed the Windows 2003 Server driver for the printer on the
terminal server so I presume it is compatible. I do not understand how it
can print okay from other applications. Even the print preview returns the
same error. I do get slightly different errors for each office application

Word
Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup.
Check the print test page.
Make sure the printer is turned on and online.
Reinstall driver

Excel
Not enough memory to print
Check network connections
Check for a loose cable

Outlook
Script error in preview.dlg

Unfortunately recreating the user's profile has not fixed the issue this
time. This is driving me nuts!

Sarah

Make sure that you use the *exact* version of the driver that is
tested by HP. You'll find it here:
