Printing problems using ts client.

[Guest]

Hello all,
The remote site I am having probs with consists of 2 win2000 and win95 box.
The win95 box has a DJ5550 printer attached and configured to LPT1. It
prints ok on the LAN. The problem is that when the user initiates the ts
client session the printer is not redirected.
The funny thing is that the winn2000 PC's at the same site do see the
printer attached to the win95 box and are ok to print.

Any suggestions ??
Thank you.

i am not fimilar with the TS client for Win95, but check if printer
redirection is enabled?

also check on the TS server, under TS configuration.

Check the EventLog on the TS to see why the printer is not
autocreated in the TS session.
It's probably a case of mismatched driver names. You can solve
this by mapping the local printer driver name to a native driver
on the server, by creating a custom ntprintsubs.inf file.

Details are here:

Go into you printers screen, go into file, server properties. Go into
the drivers tab and check if you have the Win95 drivers installed for
that printer. Odds are you only have the windows 2000 drivers
installed. Simply add the win95 drivers, and it should print fine.

Have checked the redirection. It is enabled in the options
section of tsc. I feel that maybe it is a driver issue,
maybe some sort of generic driver will work.
Any ideas ????
