I have a TS server 2000 and 3 remote office that connect through it, 4 TS
users total. One client is giving me difficulty with her printer. First, it
wouldn't connect like the others (<clients or server printer>/<client host
name>/Session <session #>). I managed to connect it manually and redirect it
to her TSxxx PRN0 port, and get it to work that way. The printer would still
look like it's local, but it worked. But often, I had to connect to the TS
server, and reassign the right TSxxx PRN port, or get the printer online (it
would go offline by itself). Now, it seems like it's connecting just fine,
but often, it will set on TSxxx PRN1 instead of PRN0. Whenever it does that,
it won't print. She have to go and manually set it to PRN0. It's not a major
issue when I'm around, but I have other obligations and am not always
available to get her to print back, plus she's going on vacation next week
and her replacement doesn't know all that stuff.
Her station is a Win2k station, up-to-date. The printer is an HP Laserjet
1200, connected by a share (\\secretgs\hp I think) on a Windows 98 station.
I tried a TON of different drivers, be it PS, PCL5e, PCL6, whatever. Now
it's using the PS driver on both the server and workstation, and I have
deleted the other useless drivers from the Server Properties applet. I know
there are some kind of driver name restriction when using Win2k and Win98,
but the driver names are the same on both 2000 machines. I also use a
mapping (net use lpt1 \\secretgs\hp /persistent:yes) so that the server
redirect the printer to LPT1. Anyway, I'd greatly appreciate help, as I have
already spent a LOT of time googling for a fix.
