Problem with Win 2008 TS Easy Print

[Trygve Lorentzen]

Hi,

we have serious issue with the new feature "Easy Print" in 2008 server. The
problem is that the physical margins of the local/client printers are not
carried over to the easy print driver on the TS. This is not a big issue
with all software that has a proper page setup dialogue with settings for
all 4 margins. The problem arises with software that depends on the physical
margins set in the print driver to place the print correctly.

Is there any settings for this? Like "Use physical margins from printer
driver", somewhere in registry perhaps, or in a settings file. I have spent
a few days trying to make this work and I'm running out of ideas... Maybe
this feature is missing in Easy Print? If so, I would call it a big problem
and a fix should be release ASAP.

Yes,

the same issue appears with XPS Document Writer, there are no margins in the
document. Since that particular program have no page setup/margin settings
and relies on the printer drivers margin settings it will not work unless
Easy Print could manage to pass the printer drivers margin settings from the
client to the TS server.

A default page setup/maring settings in the XPS Document Writer driver on
the server would probably suffice in most cercumstances.
