Hi,

I'm not sure what caused this but...

I had all my remote users printer redirections working fine before today.

Now it's defaulting to the microsoft document imagining printer, and there
are plenty of printer sessions on the terminal server that were not there
before.

I can't delete these sessions, and not sure why the re-direction wont work.
The RDP client hasn't changed.

I need these sessions to redirect to their local printer.

Thanks,
Joe
 
Re: Printer redirection

Check the EventLog, my guess is that the printer spooler service
crashed.
And that in it's turn is usually caused by a bad (read: 3rd party)
printer driver.

Re: Printer redirection

Thanks, that worked.
