Remote Desktop Printing

[Guest]

Hello,

I have a user that is unable to print to hi local printer from the remote
desktop, the printer does not show up. The user is printing to an IP port and
the printer is a HP Laser Jet 4000.

Any Sugestions?

Check the Event Viewer on the Remote Desktop host for Event ID '1111'. If
present, install the printer driver onto the Remote Desktop host which
matches his local printer on the Remote Desktop client. On the RPD host,
link the printer to any unused port. In the Remote Desktop client ensure
the 'printer redirection' setting is enabled. If you do NOT see any event
ID's 1111 on the RDP host, the it must be something else - but this is the
most common source.

Cheers!

Printing to an Ethernet connected network printer on the guest side is a
little tricky. Printer pooling needs to be configured. Here's how to set
it up

- I'm assuming the printer is already installed on the guest PC. If not the
driver needs to be installed a non-plug-and-play local printer.
- In printer properties Share the printer (This seems counter intuitive but
is required.)
- Run ipconfig and note the guest PC's IP address.
NOTE - You should NOT be connected to RD at this point. Also, it
would be best to assign this PC a static address.
- In a command prompt Run net use lpt3
\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\printer-sharename /persistent:yes (This lpt can be 1 or
2 also)
- Under Ports check enable printer pooling.
- Check the LPT port you used AND the Standard IP Port which must have the
IP address of the printer.

Note - There must also be a matching driver installed on the host.

I had this problem too. once i installed the print on the local computer and
used the TS001 port it worked fine.
