no printer redirection


hi all,

i've a windows server 2008 r2 in remote admin mode.
windows xp clients from different domain connect via remote desktop , need redirect hp 2840 printer.

i installed 32bit printer driver 64bit terminal server way:

  1. from xp client connect server (\\servername). was prompted username , password being different domain.
  2. acces "printers , faxes" share
  3. open file / server properties / driver / add , select new driver
  4. select only the 32 bit driver ("intel windows 2000 , xp") not 64 bit 1 ("x64 windows xp")

at point see same driver (hp cl2840 pcl 6 - black_white) both in server , client, connecting via remote desktop printer redirected "microsoft xps document writer".

what's going wrong?

need install x64 driver on server?

i mean, correct configuration x64 server servicing x32 remote desktop clients?

  • installing x64 printer driver?
  • installing x32 printer driver?
  • installing both?

kind regards,
  corrado



 

rd easy print enabled default, can force enabled i.e. using gpo setting:

use remote desktop easy print printer driver first
computer configuration\administrative templates\windows components\remote desktop services\remote desktop session host\printer redirection\

remember enable printer-redirection on rdp client well.
