TerminalWorks TSPrint 1.2 Keygen
Kum Dana
TSPrint uses the Microsoft Virtual Channels technology, so all traffic goes through the secured RDP connection. No need to forward or open any ports for TSPrint to work. It really is a plug-and-play solution.
Yes. You can use TSPrint both on an internet connection and your local area network. Now clients that work outside the office will be able to print out documents to their home printer without you having to first install that printer on your Terminal Services server.
(Minimum Version: 1.8.6.0) TSPrint is mostly used with two types of TSPrint printers: TSPrint Default and TSPrint Printer. The TSPrint Default printer will print everything to the local default printer without any dialogs. The TSPrint Printer in return will show each time a dialog where you can select the desired printer and its settings.
Now sometimes you would like to create a new printer and tell TSPrint to automatically transfer the print job to another local printer besides the default printer.
This can be done with the new type of TSPrint printer named TSPrint User Defined. By default, the TSPrint installation does not create such a printer.
To map a local printer to a TSPrint printer log-in to your terminal server and go to:
Start -> Programs -> TerminalWorks -> TSPrint Server -> Print Manager
Now to create a new user-defined printer that we can map to a local printer we press the green plus button on the lower-left corner of the dialog. This will show us the following dialog:
Enter the desired name of the printer and under TSPrint Function, select TSPrint User Defined. Now under the Printer Security field, you can add different users or groups which should be able to see and print to this printer. If you leave this field empty, then only YOU and the server Administrator will see this printer and be able to print to it.
After we save the new printer, it should appear as any other printer in our list:
Now the first time you print to this printer, a dialog will show up, which will ask you to select the desired local printer. If another user on the terminal server prints to the same printer, he will also receive this dialog the first time, and he will able to select his local printer. By printing on the terminal server to the user-defined TSPrint printer, TSPrint will check if the user has selected a local printer to which print jobs should be transferred. In case he has not, the earlier mentioned dialog will show up.
Now print to the printer, and your print job will automatically be transferred to the earlier selected local printer. Using this scheme, you can, for example, create a new printer and assign to him form sizes of your local POS printer, and each time, when printing on the terminal server, the print job with the correct form size will be printed on your local POS printer.
There are two ways you can disable this option. The first one would be to disable it globally on the terminal server by setting the right group policy. For more details about the please visit:
Printer Redirection
The second step would be to disable this locally on the workstation from which you connect. To do this please execute MSTSC.exe by going:
Start -> Run -> mstsc.exe
When the mstsc.exe dialog shows up click on the Options button on the bottom left side:
TSPrint offers two different dialogs to configure the default printer. The first one works on a per-user basis and each individual user can set his own default printer by logging in to the terminal server and going to:
Start -> Programs -> TerminalWorks -> TSPrint Server -> Default Printer
If you wish to disable the defaulting of printers by TSPrint and leave it to Windows then select None as the default printer.
The second dialog works on a per-server basis and allows the system administrator to configure the default printer for all users on the terminal server. You can reach that dialog by going to:
Start -> Programs -> TerminalWorks -> TSPrint server -> Server Options
The server options dialog will allow you to select the default printer for all users on the terminal server. As with the per-user default printer dialog here you can also select None to tell TSPrint to leave the defaulting of printers to Windows.
Yes, you can use some of the TSPrint binaries to execute actions usually done through TSPrint. For example, you can just execute the following command line command:
C:\PROGRAM_FILES\TerminalWorks\TSPrint Server\pdfwriter.exe open "YOUR_FILE"
This would then invoke the same procedure which is done when you right-click on a file and select TSPrint Open Locally.
Besides the open option you can also use:
-send - To send the file to the local workstation. (A file save dialog will appear)
-mail - To send the file as a new e-mail with the file attached to the e-mail.
Sometimes, very special printers, including special page sizes, are hard to map with our virtual TSPrint printers. Results can be a blank page, bad positioning, etc. The solution is to create a Windows driver printer on the server-side, map local settings perfectly with our Windows driver printer.
To create a Windows driver printer, please follow the steps described in this document.
Log in to your terminal server and open:
Start -> Programs -> TerminalWorks -> TSPrint Server -> Print Manager
Select the printer driver you installed to your Terminal Server. Ensure that you have the correct drivers that correspond to the actual printer installed at the client workstation. We used Epson FX-870 in our example.
Set up the security options as needed by adding new Users or Groups. You can do so by pressing the green button showing a "+" or the red button showing a "-" sign.
Here you can change several options:
- Print Engine
Print engine defines the way data is sent to the printer. Changing this option can help you correct the errors with faulty margins, fonts, and similar. If everything prints out OK, there is no need to change this option from the 'Default' value.
- Default Printer
Use the dropdown menu to select a printer you wish to use as the default one.
- Show Printer Settings
Selecting this option causes the printer's User Interface to be shown before printing.
- Map Settings
Selecting this option will allow you to set printer preferences when printing from the remote session and causing them to map to the local printer. If you do not select this option, and you set up some options (orientation for example) they will be discarded when printing takes place. In this case, local printer preferences will be used.
- Print as Image
Selecting this option will result in the print job being printed out as a picture, instead of a group of characters. This may solve problems when fonts are not printed out correctly but will cause larger print jobs and longer printing times.
- FitToPage
Selecting this option will result in the print result being enlarged or shrunk to the page size. You can use this option in case you experience problems with margins.
- Printer Mappings
Custom printers created by the Print Manager module of TSPrint Server will be shown here. Printers can be edited by pressing the 'Edit' button. You can delete the unwanted printer by pressing the 'Delete' button.
Save selected options and close the window by pressing the 'Save' button.
Pressing the 'Help' button will open TerminalWorks Support pages.
Ericom Blaze RDP
In order for Ericom Blaze RDP to be working with TSPrint or TSScan, you have to do the following:
Start Ericom Blaze RDP client and open the 'Local Resources' tab. Press the '3rd party addins' button.
Random printing order
If your documents are not printing in the order they were sent to the printer; please open the printer properties of the TSPrint printer you are sending the print job to (TSPrint Printer, TSPrint Default, or TSPrint PDF).
Under the 'Advanced' tab, check the box next to 'Print spooled documents first.
When printing multiple documents and the print order is invalid on your printer, you have to set the Print spooled documents first option on the TSPrint printer where you experience this issue.
This option can be accessed by right-clicking on the TSPrint printer on your terminal server and selecting Printer Properties. After that, click on the Advanced tab and check the option.
When you have downloaded 'tsprint.tar.gz' from our site, you will need to extract it in the terminal with 'tar xvzf tsprint.tar.gz'.
That will create a sub-directory named 'tsprint'. Go to that directory with e.g. 'cd tsprint'.
In that directory, run our rdesktop with './rdesktop -u -p ' - substitute the parameters with your own.
Note: In case you get an error stating that libcrypto is not the right version please download this package:
and place it in "home/usr/lib"
The full path of this mode in the Group Policy Management Console on Server 2003/2003R2:
"Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Printer Redirection"
and Server 2008/2008R2/2012/2012R2/2016:
"Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Printer Redirection"
This policy setting allows you to specify whether the client default printer is automatically set as the default printer in a Terminal Services session.By default, Terminal Services automatically designates the client default printer as the default printer in a Terminal Services session. You can use this policy setting to override this behavior.
The policy has 3 options.
Enabled->The default printer is the printer specified on the remote computer.
Disabled->The terminal server automatically maps the client default printer and sets it as the default printer upon connection.
Not Configured->The default printer is not specified at the Group Policy level. However, an administrator can configure the default printer for client sessions by using the Terminal Services Configuration tool.
