RDP local printers not recognized
drive...@gmail.com
Laserjet 3380 whether on an LPT port or a DOT4 port. I do not have
the problem with the more standard printers like the Laserjet 4P,
Laserjet 5 etc, they all work fine.
It appears the driver is not campatable with the hardware and as such
RDP will not forward the driver.
I am aware DOT4 and USB ports over RDP will not forward the port
without the regedit patch which I do have installed.
My friend is using a Dell multi-func printer with the same problem.
All computers are running XP.
The laserjet 3380 was working XP to XP, then stopped working when I
upgraded the far end to Vista. Thus XP to Vista not working. I even
tried RDP ver6.0 with no change.
Why are these printers such a problem over RDP. I have read that
others are experiencing similiar problems.
Some say the drivers have to be installed at both ends. I can't see
how a driver installed on the XP Pro desktop at the far end will make
a difference. When someone says to install the driver are they
refering to control panel --> printers --> and just setting up the
printer there?
Anyways, how do I need to proceed.
