CUPS PDF PRINTING IN WINDOWS OVER REMOTE DESKTOP - PRINTER NOT LISTED

I am running OS X 10.6.2. I connect remotely using windows remote desktop / terminal services to various windows machines. For the XP and Windows 2003 Server 32 bit systems I have no problems with printing pdf documents from the remote windows system back to my mac using CUPS PDF. I don't have to install anything on the remote windows computer. However, for Windows 2003 Server 64 bit and Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, the CUPS PDF printer does not appear in the printer list. I tried installing the Laserwriter 8500 print driver (which apparently CUPS uses) and attaching to a unused TS printing port. The printer appears in the list but it won't print, and it's obviously not attaching to my computer.
I can't upgrade my mac operating system until I resolve a keyboard driver issue with 10.6.3 and above. Any suggestions?

I am having a similar issue. I'm using Remote Desktop to connect to a 2008 R2 server and am trying to use PDFWriter as a redirected printer to create a PDF. It is only working after I check print to file, save the file (which it creates an XPS file that is not compatible), then I uncheck print to file, click print, and then it creates the pdf file I need.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Basically - I need to have a "PDF" printer because the print window is on the remote server and it doesn't have the save as pdf option.
Thanks.

Premiere Pro CS4 over remote desktop does not play sequence

Hi all,
I have been researching this issue over the internet but I have found absolutely no references to it:
I am running Premiere Pro CS4 on my high-resource PC but would like to work from a different room so I am remoting form my laptop to my "good" PC.
The system lets me do everything I could normally do when working directly on the main PC with the exception of playing back my edited files (before rendering). This is an obvious handicap since I can not watch my edited sequence and am, therefore, working in the blind. I am able to step through it frame by frame, but when I click the play button, it changes to a pause symbol (as usual) but nothing is shown in the video window. This does not just happen when previewing my edited sequence but also when previewing any imported resource.
Essentially, Premiere Pro CS4 is not playing any video content over a Remote Desktop.
Other normal playback software (such as VLC, Windows Media Player etc...) works though, so it is not an issue of no video playback at all. This just happens when I'm using Premiere Pro.
Any suggestions as to what this may be? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I was able to edit a full 1080p HD video in Premiere Pro CS5 remotely using HPs RGS (Remote Graphics Software). I had a Workstation at work with Premiere Pro installed on it and all the source footage on it. I was then able to log on remotely from home with my old weak-sauce desktop and successfully edit and play back the HD footage remotely. You just do a google search for HP RGS or go to this link. http://h20331.www2.hp.com/hpsub/cache/286504-0-0-225-121.html
There is a free trial available too. I don't know why there is not more information about RGS on the web, but it seems to me to be the only solution to work on Premiere or After Effects remotely.
I hope this helps

Remote Desktop Printer Redirection Stops Working Randomly on Server 2008 R2

We have a MS Windows Server 2008 R2 that is used SOLELY as a Terminal Services remote desktop server onto our network. It is used for employees who are off site and need to use the networked company software. VPN works, but is extremely slow for this software.
Over the past week, the redirected printers function has repeatedly stopped on this server. The employees need this to print to their own local printers. It will eventually restart itself, but after several hours. To get it started faster, I have to restart
the server.
I've done this maybe 6 time since last Monday. This has never been an issue before, and I cannot think of any change that may have occurred that could cause this.
The Event Viewer says this:
The Remote Desktop license server cannot update the license attributes for user "DrewR" in the Active Directory Domain "XXXX.main". Ensure that the computer account for the license server is a member of Terminal Server License Servers group
in Active Directory domain "XXXX.main".
If the license server is installed on a domain controller, the Network Service account also needs to be a member of the Terminal Server License Servers group.
If the license server is installed on a domain controller, after you have added the appropriate accounts to the Terminal Server License Servers group, you must restart the Remote Desktop Licensing service to track or report the usage of RDS Per User CALs.
Win32 error code: 0x80070005
(I inserted the Xs)
I've never looked at the Event Viewer on this server, but it is littered with messages such as this, and has been for months and months, so if this IS the issue, then it sure took its sweet time affecting anything.

Hi,
Initially try to update with the latest rollup for fixing remote desktop printing issue. You can check below link and verify result.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2647753
And for the error you can check the related information from beneath article.
TerminalServices-Licensing 4105 – The Terminal Services license server cannot update the license attributes for user “<UserName>” in Active Directory Domain “<DomainName>”

Hope it helps!

Hp laserjet pro m1217nfw and remote desktop printing

hp laserjet pro m1217nfw and remote desktop printing, is there any issues with said function?

whats the problerm you are having??

Windows Components/remote desktop services/remote desktop session host/profile doesn't appear to be working on 2008R2 boxes

I have two domains.   One is an account domain with a one way trust with the resource domain.   Resource domain trusts the account domain and has a number of 2008R2 servers running within. I am experiencing severe logon delays
due to these servers being unable to access the server that hosts the user home folder specified directly on the user account profile tab from the account domain.   When using my workstation in the actual account domain (corporate) I have no
problems.
Because of these network restrictions, I need to override the 2008R2's desire to access that user home folder location in the account domain.
So far the best thing I have found to try is Windows Components/remote desktop services/remote desktop session host/profile/Set Remote Desktop User Home Directory
The problem is that so far I have tried to configure this to point to both a local folder as well as a network path and it doesn't appear to be doing anything.   Not seeing any errors in the app or system log either.
It is still trying to map the path in the account domain.
Any ideas?
Is there a better way to accomplish my goal?   The servers in the resource domain will be Citrix servers and there will be a lot of users connecting from the account domain.
I tried this setting too, but it only seems to work on the 2012 machines in my Resource domain.
With the introduction of Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 there is now a new group policy setting called “Set user home folder” and is found under Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > System > User Profiles
Help!

Hi,
This might be due to permission problems. Please check whether the user accounts for whose home folder to be redirected have permissions in the shared folder specified in the server.

Using Windows 7 Remote Desktop with Airport Extreme...help!

I recently purchased an Airport Extreme to replace an old Linksys router I had. Its works great, but I'm having an issue when I send my brother a remote desktop assistance link in Windows 7. We are both running Windows 7 and never had this problem in the past, but now that I'm using an Airport Extreme it wont connect. Tech support could not provide the correct ports that needed to be opened. I'm thinking it has something to do with NAT PMP (Apple) and UPNP (Microsoft). We have opened ports 3389 and 491152 - 65535 but no luck.
So my question...how can I enable the Airport Extreme to allow Windows 7 Remote Desktop Assistance?

Sorry, that should be remote "assistance" not "desktop"

Windows 7 remote desktop connection cannot logoff the local user

Windows 7 remote desktop connection cannot logoff the local user
Remote Desktop connection:
(This experience is from Windows 7 remote to Windows Embedded Standard 7 computer)
I used Remote Desktop to try to log on to a Windows 7 (WES7E) computer and someone is already logged on locally (Console Session), I saw a message like this:
"Another user is currently logged on to this computer. If you continue, this user has to disconnect from this computer. Do you want to continue?"
I click on Yes.
Then I saw "Please wait for [username] to respond". No action from the logged-on local user, I waited for 30 seconds, then I was able to login the computer and at the same time was able to disconnect the logged-on local user.
Question:
1. "Another user is currently logged on to this computer..." message doesn't show me the actual logged-on user name. Is there any way to show the user name in this pop-up message?
2. After waiting for 30 seconds, I was able to login the computer and the logged-on local user is disconnected, however this local user is never been logged-off. I wanted to logoff the local user (with Console Session) when I made the connection remotely
to the computer from remote desktop (Just like Windows XP) Is there any group policy can change the behavior?
The policies I have looked at are:
Local Computer Policy | Computer Config | Admin Templates | Windows Components | Remote Desktop Services|Connections|Deny
logoff of an administrator logged in to the console session => disabled

Mei Davis

Hi ,
These behavior is by design. There is no way to change that. Thank you for your understanding.

Windows 2012 Remote desktop session host server not detecting RD licensing server

Hi,
We have a customer server which is Windows 2012. We installed RDS session host server role and configured it to use RD licensing server as per the
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2833839?wa=wsignin1.0
After configuring, when I open RD license diagonser tool, it says, RD license server is not available. Also shows, credential not available. When I enter the credential by clicking, provide credentials, it does not get applied. I see no event logs related
to RD service. However, I see the below event log which points to RD licensing server.
DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer <RD license server> using any of the configured protocols; requested by PID 273c (C:\Windows\system32\mmc.exe).
Please help in fixing the issue.
Thanks,
Umesh

Hi Umesh,
Thanks for your comment.
During your configuration, have you specified RD License server for RDSH to use?
You can also specify a license server for the RD Session Host server to use by applying the Group Policy under below path.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Licensing
Use the specified Remote Desktop license servers – Provide the FQDN of the license servers to use
Also this setting can be specified by below method.
To configure the license server on RDSH/RDVH:
$obj = gwmi -namespace "Root/CIMV2/TerminalServices" Win32_TerminalServiceSetting
$obj.SetSpecifiedLicenseServerList("License.contoso.com")
Note “License” is the name of the License Server in the environment
To verify the license server configuration on RDSH/RDVH:
$obj = gwmi -namespace "Root/CIMV2/TerminalServices" Win32_TerminalServiceSetting
$obj.GetSpecifiedLicenseServerList()
More information.

Can I use System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection in "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" without buy the license ?

Can I use System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection in Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" without buy the System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection license ?
I want to protect my Azure RemoteApp against the malware.
System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection installed Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host".
Now, I try to build Azure RemoteApp template by using the Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" .
Regards,
Yoshihiro Kawabata

Hi Yoshihiro,
Unless and until Microsoft modifies the license terms for System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection and/or modifies the Online Services Terms (OST) and/or other document explicitly saying that use is included with the Azure RemoteApp (ARA) monthly
fee I recommend you assume as that it is
not included and license it separately for ARA if that is even possible, which is a separate question.
For licensing it is best to be cautious and make decisions based on the official documents that are available that govern use of the software and services involved. At this moment I'm not able to find a Microsoft document that grants use of System
Center 2012 Endpoint Protection with Azure RemoteApp.
When I first used the gallery template and noticed that Endpoint Protection was installed within it I had the same question as you. I will update this thread if/when I obtain more information.

Print Templates print preview window closes unexpectly when printing document

This is a cross posting from Internet Explorer Web Development after a suggestion that this forum would be a better location. See
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/351e1245-b606-4467-9f3c-1c72f9cdf9ea/print-templates-print-preview-window-closes-unexpectly-when-printing-document?forum=iewebdevelopment.
I have raised an issue through Connect for this:
https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/1134168/ie9-to-ie11-print-templates-print-preview-window-closes-unexpectly-when-printing-document, but I would like some more visibility of the issue as my customers thought my application was closing when
they printed a document. I also don't know if an issue in Connect gets any priority support via MSDN, but this forum does.
This looks to me like a problem in the IE Print Templates startDoc API call, but if there is a more appropriate forum to raise this issue in please let me know.
In the application where I use print templates, the window closing is not in it self a problem because the Javascript that is calling startDoc also closes the Print Preview window when the print is finished.
The fact that the application looses focus and can be hidden by the windows of other applications when the Print Preview window is closed by startDoc is the issue noticed by our customers, so I need a fix preferably, or a work around at a pinch.
Details of the issue reproduced below.
When using IE Print Templates, the startDoc function is causing the print preview window to close. This behaviour started with IE9, and is still present with IE11.
When an application is using print templates (see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa753279(v=vs.85).aspx) for print functionality, this has the effect of causing the application to become hidden by any other application window once printing from the print preview window has started. It is
actually this behaviour that started me looking at this issue as the users thought the hosting application had closed.
Print Templates are not accessible by using IE as a web browser, but only when using the WebBrowser Control to embed IE in an application. The reference for this feature is available from this url:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa753279(v=vs.85).aspx
and a sample Microsoft application that demonstrates the use of Print Templates can be used to demonstrate the problem (required for the reproduction steps). The application is available via this article and searching for "download spiffy".
Steps to reproduce the problem:
To see the full effect of the issue, first ensure there is a window from another application (like Windows Explorer) that will cover the sample applications window if brought to the foreground (making the Windows Explorer window full screen works).
Start the sample application (and ensure that the full screen Window Explorer is the next application to activate).
Then in the drop down box in the top right corner of the UI select Template8.htm.
Click the Print Preview button that is just below the drop down box (this will open a new Print Preview window).
In the new window click the Print… button (this will open a Print dialog).
Click the Print button at the bottom of the Print dialog.
The Print dialog closes (expected) and then the Print Preview window also closes (not expected), however the document is still printed successfully.
When the Print Preview windows is closed unexpectedly, the Windows Explorer window is brought to the foreground (obscuring the sample applications window).
If you reselect the sample application and click the Print Preview button again, the Print Preview dialog is not displayed unless you restart the application (this looks to be a symptom of the same issue, not a separate problem).
To see that the Print Preview window appears to be closed by the startDoc call, use the resource editor in Visual Studio (the exe can be opened directly by File | Open | File…) to edit the HTML resource "TEMPLATE8.HTM" (I found I needed to delete
it and add it back in for the change to stick), find the startDoc call and add two alerts, one on the line before and one on the line after. When IE is accessing the template, it is being done using the name of the executable (so do not rename the modified
version of printtemplates.exe, make the changes to a copy in a different directory if you don't want to change the original). Start the modified version of the application and follow the same steps as in the reproduction. This time, after clicking
the Print button in the Print dialog, the dialog will close, the first alert will pop up, then the Print Preview window will close, then
the second alert will pop up.
Thank you,
Warren.

Hi Shu,
I have noticed that the print templates API is listed as part of the Legacy APIs.
Is this just because it hasn't changed or is not new? Or does this mean that it is no longer maintained and may be removed (or at least deprecated) at some point in the future?
It would good to know if we should start planning for the implementation of a different method of printing.
I understand that the sample application is no longer maintained, but I also think that the Print Template API that it uses has not changed, and so should still work (and it does mostly).
If the Print Preview window was being closed as a result of using the Print dialog (and if it had behaved the same way with IE8) I would be willing to go with the by design argument.
I have found that the Print Preview window is not closed until startDoc is called, and it closes before control is returned from the startDoc function.
Just as part of investigating and try to find a workaround, if I call window.close(), any alert calls made no longer display the alert window after the close call.
Alert still functions after startDoc has closed the window however.
The is not the sort of consistent behaviour I would expect from something that is by design.
Also while investigating, I found that calling startDoc after calling window.close() results in an exception with the error code -2147467259 (0x80004005), this is probably quite normal and expected, but does indicate that the Web Browser Control should
not be closed till after printing.
I had found that old thread, and I had concluded it was the same issue, but it was also aimed at different aspect of the problem (which I see in the sample application, but not my application).
The visible issue I have is that my users think the application has been closed because after clicking print (on the Print dialog) the application gets hidden by other windows from other applications.
This aspect affects the sample in the same manner and so it was a convenient way to demonstrate the problem.
If IE connect do not look at this issue any time soon, do I have any other avenues to resolve this issue?
Thank you,
Warren.

can't check the spelling or grammar in this document. An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly." After about 5 clicks it comes up with Cannot find the proofing tools for English (Australia). It eventually it works, need to
get it to work the first time. I have searched all around but can't seem to find the answer.

I'd try them over here.

Hi,
Are they able to print from other applications while connected via Remote Desktop to the same server?
Are you using RD Easy Print driver for your redirected printers? If yes it may be that this specific application is incompatible with the RD Easy Print printer driver for some reason. One possible workaround may be to Disable Use RD Easy
Print printer driver first group policy setting and then install a matching printer driver on the server for each client printer.

Print to lpt1 where remote desktop client has usb printer

I have a client with an usb printer and need to print an UPS label report from Microsoft Dynamic NAV on an remote server that prints only to LPT1. I've set the client printer as shared printer and selected LPT1 and USB ports. When the client is connected
to the server through remote desktop, the redirected printer can print a test print but running the report from the application on the server will not print to the client's printer. The report shows that it was sent to LPT1 but there are no errors
or print jobs in the printer queue. I've also tried to use "net use" to set up the shared printer to LPT1 but that didn't work either. And I've installed the printer on the server to LPT1 as well and that did not work either.
Any help is greatly appreciated. The server is Windows Server 2008 R2 and the client is Windows 7.
Thanks,
