Windows 2003 Terminal Services Client On Chinese OS

[Guest]

Hi all, I am running a Terminal Service on Windows 2003 Server Standard
Edition(English version). I have few Terminal Services Clients running on
Chinese OS (Windows 2000 or XP). We can see local drive in terminal service
session but not able to see the local printer. If we run terminal client on
English OS then we can see the local printer. Is it a bug or limitation? Any
solution for this problem?

Thanks in advance

Xin Hong

I have no experience with running Chinese clients, but I expect
that the problem that you encounter has to do with a mismatch in
the printer driver name on the client and the server.
Those names must match *exactly* for automatic printer redirection
to be succesfull. If they are different, you can create a custom
ntprintsubs.inf file to map the local printer driver name on the
client to a native printer driver name on the server.

Hi Vera,

Thanks a lot. It does work. We now can see the printer on both Chinese and
English OS.
