Server 2003 Terminal Services Printer Redirection

-

we have terminal server running 2003 r2 x64 , printers created/redirected correct driver while others created use hp deskjet 500 driver instead of appropriate printer driver.

for example, have hp laserjet p2055dn printer , have x64 driver installed on server when users connect terminal server maps printer correct name of "hp laserjet p2050..." configured "hp deskjet 500" driver instead of installed driver.  i can manually change driver use "hp laserjet p2050 series pcl 6" driver once either disconnect or logout , log in again reverts deskjet driver again.  for normal printing, prints fine particular printer writing out checks accounting program use , deskjet driver doesn't work , don't want have change driver every time login.

same situation xerox workcentre 7655 copier.  i have installed pcl , ps drivers printer on server , map deskjet 500 driver still instead.  two more same thing toshiba e-studio 232 copier , toshiba e-studio 2830c color copier.

on other hand, have ricoh aficio sp 4210n, toshiba e-studio 4520c color copier, hp laserjet 4000, hp laserjet 8150, , hp color laserjet 4730mfp copier map correct drivers fine.

one other oddity machines have dymo labelwriters have drivers mapped "hp laserjet 4/ 4m ps" driver, not deskjet 500 driver.

clients variety of windows xp , windows 7 (both 32-bit , 64-bit).

any ideas?

hi,

you need create/edit custom printer driver mapping file correct driver used printers not have matching driver names on both client , server.  please see article required registry entries, file format, etc:

windows 2000 or windows server 2003 terminal services server logs events 1111, 1105, , 1106

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239088

from description appears have fallback printer driver enabled, create printer using deskjet 500 driver if matching driver name not found on server.  having entry each non-matching driver name in custom mapping file allow control driver used each printer.

thanks.
