Dear Craig,
Many thanks for your reply!
We can take the following steps to troubleshoot this issue:
Suggestion 1: Check group policyusing GPEDIT.MSC
===================
1. Click on Start ->Run and enter Gpedit.msc in the open line. Press Enter.
2. Navigate through Local Computer policy->Computer
Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Terminal
Services->Client/Server Data Redirection. Check the following settings:
a. Do not allow Client Printer redirection
Specifies whether to prevent the mapping of client printers in Terminal
Services sessions.
If the status is set to Enabled, users cannot redirect print jobs from the
remote computer to a local client printer in Terminal Services sessions.
If the status is set to Disabled, users can redirect print jobs with client
printer mapping.
b. Do not allow LPT Port Re direction
Specifies whether to prevent the redirection of data to client LPT ports
during a Terminal Services session.
If the status is set to Enabled, users in a Terminal Services session
cannot redirect server data to the local LPT port.
If the status is set to Disabled, LPT port redirection is always allowed.
c. Do not set default client printer to be default printer in a session
Specifies whether the client default printer is automatically set as the
default printer in a Terminal Services session.
If the status is set to Enabled, the default printer is the printer
specified on the remote computer.
If the status is set to Disabled, the terminal server automatically maps
the client default printer and sets it as the default printer upon
connection.
Make sure that all the above are set to “Disabled”
Suggestion 2: Check permission on print spooler
====================
In order for users to be able to print on a Terminal Server, users will
need Read, Write, Execute, and List Folder Contents access to the print
spooler's directory: %SystemRoot%\System32\Spool.
Suggestion 3: Clean boot
====================
1. Click Start, click Run, type "msconfig" (without the quotation marks) in
the Open box, and then click OK.
2. In the Startup tab, click the "Disable All" button.
3. In the Services tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" checkbox,
and then click the "Disable All" button.
4. Click OK and restart your computer.
If there is any update, please feel free to let me know.
Have a nice day!
Best regards,
Helen Li
