Hello,
I have a win 2003 standard edition server that is accessed via Remote
Desktop by several users running XP on their individual workstations.
One of the work stations has an HP USB printer attached, and shared to all
other users. The printer works perfectly when used from the work stations.
The server has the driver installed for this printer as well (win 2003
version from the HP website.) All users have remote desktop configured to
forward the printer.
when a user prints from an application on the server, the first print works
properly, and then a print job labeled "Remote Desktop Redirected Printer
Doc" is sent repeatedly and soon there are thousands clogging the print
queue and the printer stops working until the queue is cleared.

other information: the repeated jobs show up on the queue manager on the xp
machine connected to the printer, and they show n/a under pages and file size
shows blank.
The printer on the server shows a port name of TS followed by a three digit
number.
Anybody Have any good ideas?
Ray

You may get more (better?) help if you post (crosspost) your question in the
microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax or microsoft.public.windows.vista.print_fax_scan newsgroup.

Also, printer drivers are often very idiosyncratic, so it is vital to state what make and model of
printer is given the problem.

It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

Hello All,
Due to suggestions on
microsoft.public.windows.server.general
I'm cross posting here.
It was also suggested that I provide the printer make and model.
It is an HP LaserJet 1505
Thyanks,

First and foremost, are you on SP2 or SP1? I read your follow-up and
saw that it's an HP printer. Here's a couple quick and easy things to
try out.

1) Right-click the printer and choose Properties.
2) On the Advanced tab, click the print processor button.
3) If it says anything other than Winprint, change it to Winprint.
Make sure default data type is RAW.
4) If you can, make sure it's also Winprint on the client side as
well.

Try this first. For good measure, restart the print spooler service in
case it doesn't accept the Winprint setting. If that doesn't help, I
have many more things you can try.

You do know XP has a connection limitation? A mere 5 for XP Home and just 10
for XP Pro. If all the network is trying to print to the HP printer on the
XP PC, you're probably way over the limitation.

SMB connection limitations have nothing to do with the RPC/RDP based
connectivity methods used for Terminal Services redirected printing.
