Having Proglems Printing Using TS Easy Print.

i have vps account window 2008 32 bit server.

i having problems printing using ts easy print driver administrator or users. have done:

1. have added .net frame 3.0. ms publication states need .net frame sp 1. not sure whether cause of problem.

2. have added terminal services role, dns server role,  , addc role.

3. in environment tab administrator , users, have checked connect client printers @ log on.

4. tried print page notepad.  when open print box, see number of printers redirected, e.g. printer-a(redirected 2). when try print, nothing print local printer (printer-a(redirected 2).

5. printer box, add printer => add local printer => using existing port => in pull down menu, see many ts##(inactive ts port), , many ts##(mycomputer-prn#).

6. clicked on 1 of tz##(mycomputer-prn#), installed driver of local printer , use it. nothing comes out of printer.

i wondering whether due not have to-date net frame 3.0.

any suggestion appreciated.

hi,

1. please make sure users have enough permissions printers folder on server.  may opening administrator command prompt , typing following:

icacls c:\windows\system32\spool\printers /grant users:(oi)(ci)m

restart server after above command, test see if users able print.

2. windows xp pcs, please make sure have .net framework 3.5 sp1 installed latest remote desktop client version 6.1.7600.  windows 7 there no need install anything.

3. if still having trouble printing after completing above please try different printer drivers on local pc.  example, if using pcl5 driver on local pc please try pcl6/ps/xps driver same printer.

thanks.
