Printed document goes to nirvana

[Tom]

Hi

Sorry to disturb you with another printing issue...

I have a client (WinXP) connecting to my TS (Win2000 sp4).
His printer (HP LaserJet 1000 on USB) is properly
redirected. I had to set the FilterQueueType
Registrysetting before, but now it works.

When he prints I can see the document passing the TS
spooler.
The client sees the document in his local
spooler "printing redirected document ...".
After a few seconds the document disappears just like it
was printed... but it wasn't. The Printer just stays quiet!

When he prints a document from local MSWord the printer
prints just fine.

Any Idea?!


Regards

Tom

We had the same problem 3 weeks ago. We called HP. It
turns out that host base printers such as the LaserJet
1000 are not supported throught terminal server. You need
a PCL printer like the HP LaserJet 1200 or 1300. We
purchased a 1300 and now everything works as it should.

Good luck,

David

Try changing the printer drivers used for this printer on
the terminal server.

Thank you guys for the quick responses

I think David may be right. I tried several printer
drivers on TS-side (HP LaserJet 4, etc.) and it never
worked properly.

We now use a HP LaserJet 6P and everything works just fine.
