Hi,
I am trying to get a treminal server client (2000) to print to his local printer. The automatic printer redirection is not working. I am trying the manual printer redirection.
I have a microsoft document about that but I am not able to do that. I tried to use the add printer but with no luck.
the document says the following:
Printers attached to LPT and COM ports on the client's local computer can be manually redirected for use with Terminal Services clients.
Note
Manual redirection of printers connected through USB ports is not supported.
To manually redirect a client printer, contact your administrator and provide the name of your computer (or IP address for a Windows-based Terminal). The client must be connected to the Terminal server during manual redirection.
The administrator uses Add Printers in Printers in Control Panel to manually add the printer. The administrator uses the client computer name to select the printer port from the list of available ports in Add Printer. Ports for all clients currently connected to the server appear in the Port list. Terminal Services client ports are listed as follows:
Port Description
TS computername
ortX (where Port is the type of port and X is the port number)
Any idea what information I need to put in the add printer wizard ?
