PCL3/PCL3GUI Compatibility With MS RDS Redirected Printing

Attempting to determine if PCL3, PCL3 Enhanced, and PCL3 GUI are compatible with Microsoft Remote Destop Services/Terminal Services redirected printing. Part of this is to determine the differences between PCL3, PCL3 Ehanced and PCL3 GUI. While I have not found anything official, based on references I have found on other websites it appears as if PCL3 and PCL3 Enhanced are "true" PCL but that PCL3 GUI is host-based.
We have used some printers in the past that had some form of PCL3 (did not distinguish a difference between enhanced/GUI, etc.. until recently) and seem to have had mixed luck where sometimes it seems to work and sometimes it does not. One issue I did notice is that, like host based printers, they can produce very large spooler files which often causes problems.
I have attempted to find a definitive answer in HP documentation, but have had no luck. Would appreciate assistance in locating HP documetation that explains the differences between PCL3, PCL3 Enhanced and PCL3 GUI, as well as definitive documentation regarding compatibility with Microsoft RDS Redirected Printing.

  • Photoshop CS5 - Compatibility with "Canon Easy Photo Print Pro"

    Hi,
    I have just downloaded and installed  the trial version of Photoshop CS5, only to discover that in the  Automate option  (Under Files), Canon's Easy PhotoPrint Pro is no longer  listed.
    Canon have advised that it is not their problem.
    I  found that with Photoshop CS3, that this method of printing, provided most  accurate colours,
    I would be interested in other subscribers, who have CS5 and who print with  the Canon Pixma Pro 9000,
    (1) Have you found a method of using Canon Easy Photo Print Pro, and if not
    (2) What settings do you find give the best results from your printer -  What options do you select in the print dialogue box, etc.
    Brian

    Hi,
    Thanks for this information - Canon came back to me with a similar responce.
    Pending a resolution, which allows something similar to  Canon's Easy PhotoPrint Pro to be installed as an "Add-in" to Photoshop CS5, I plan to allow Photoshop to manage colours.
    This requires you to disable the printer from managing colours.
    For those who have a similar problem and are not sure, how to disable Colour Management in the Pixma Pro 9000, the following is a quote from Canon:
    Thank you for contacting Canon Support. Your reference/ticket number is 1031274.
    We are sorry to hear about the problems you are having with your Canon Pro9000.
    Please go to the 'Printing Preferences' and then select the 'Main' tab.
    Here you will see a 'Colour / Intensity' option, make sure this is set
    to 'Manual'. The 'Set' button will now appear active, press this button
    and then go to the 'Matching' tab. Once here make sure 'Colour Correction'
    is set to 'None'. This will deactivate the colour management completely.
    Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us
    on the telephone number below ensuring to quote your Canon Helpdesk ticket
    number noted in the subject line above. Alternatively, you can reply directly

  • Problem with page size when using redirected printer

    I have a customer who connects to another customer's network via VPN, then logs into and RDS server running Server 2012.
    This customer then opens an Excel file and tries to print it out to a printer that is local to her and of course shows as redirected when looking at Devices and Printers in her login on the RDS server.
    The problem is that when going to File / Print on the Excel document, the page size is listed as Custom Size and if you try to select any other size from the list, it won't accept it and stays at custom size. If she selects another redirected local printer,
    she can choose whatever page size she wants.
    This is not selecting the paper size. She can change that on either redirected printer. So when she is trying to print an Excel file on legal size paper, the print comes out reduced as if it is trying to print on letter size paper even though legal size
    paper is selected.
    I hope my description is clear enough. If not, please let me know and I'll try to explain further. So I'm trying to find how to fix this one redirected printer (a Brother MFC-7860DW) so that she can change the page size so when the document prints it occupies
    the full sheet of legal size paper.
    Jonathan

    Is there is a difference in printer driver for working and non-working redirected printers? If yes, can you match it?
    Do you see the same behavior if you use Generic Text Only inbox driver?
    Thanks

    Hello Highcountryhike,
              Thank you for posting your request.  You should have no issues updating to 10.10 Yosemite.  Below are a couple links that should help.
    If you run the Software Updates from the Apple Menu, to check for updates.  Some have had issues not seeing updates, so simply click on "Store" from the top menu, and then click on Reload Page".  Select to install HP Updates to ensure you have the latest drivers.
    In some instances, the printer can be updated in the printer queue to resolve other issues, so check to make sure that the printer is listed with the HP Printer Series driver and not just AirPrint.  System Prefernces/Printers & Scanners/ select your printer on the left and check on the right side under "Location:" that Kind: is the printer series.  You can also click the "-" symbol to remove and then re-add the printer queue again, choosing the HP Printer series name to install the drivers.

  • No compatability with older printer hardware/software and no windows media center

    What can I say except that Microsoft is the only company that releases an inferior product after years of having a great product. Windows 8.1 and 8 would be fine if it were compatible with old hardware i.e. printers and had Windows Media Center. This is
    now a very bare bones product. I certainly won't be paying the $129 price tag for Windows Pro 8.1 pack, just to get media center - not when there's so many free alternatives around for that. In future, don't purchase a photo quality printer that costs a fortune.
    Buy a nasty cheap one with inexpensive cartridges, as eventually you won't be able to install the older software for your far superior printer i.e. Epson stylus photo 1270.  Sounds like a collusion with both Microsoft and Printer manufacturers to get
    folk purchasing hardware they don't want or need, while they're older hardware works just fine - it's the new operating systems that don't. No thank you.

    Hi,
    Please understand that Microsoft's partners have shared clear concerns over the costs associated with codec licensing for traditional media playback, especially as Windows 8 enables an unprecedented variety of form factors. Windows has addressed these concerns
    in the past by limiting availability of these experiences to specialized “media” or “premium” editions.  
    That's why the Media center is separated for additional cost.
    For the compatibility thing about older device, you can use the compatible mode to install the related driver on Windows 8 and 8.1 to get it work.

  • Redirected Printer is not working

    Hello all,
    We have a Windows Server 2012 R2 terminal server. We have set up two Lenovo thin clients to remote access this terminal server. The problem is that the redirected printer is not working on one of the thin client but works on the other one. I have made the
    same settings on both of the thin clients.
    The difference between these two thin clients is like following.
    1. Printer: The one that is working is Canon printer and the one that is not working is HP printer.
    2. They use different ISPs.
    All other settings are the same. I did not find any error code from the event viewer too. The only thing that I have is this error message when I tried to print a test page. "Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print troubleshooter
    for assistance?" And when I click "Yes", it said I did not have the related service installed and I could not find the error code for this issue.
    Does anyone have any ideas on this issue? Please share this.
    Thank you very much.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Based on your description it seems that there is issue with incompatible print driver. As you commented you can access for canon but not for HP. Please see that you have update version of HP driver is installed. If possible try to use RDS universal printer
    driver and verify.
    How to configure Microsoft RDS Universal Printing
    Does this happen for any specific user or for all users? If this happen for any particular user then there might be issue with user profile got corrupt so need to clear user profile cache or delete it and re-login to check the result.
    Hope it helps!

  • Redirect Printer is not working in windows 2008 R2 Server( Server Running as AD and Terminal Service(both role in single server))

    Dear Team
    i need solution from Microsoft for the issue;
    My infrastructure
    - Windows Server 2008 R2 (Role - AD and Terminal Service)- Updated
    - Client Machine running with windows 7 pro (Updated)
    - Client Using RDP Client to connect Windows 2008 Terminal Session
    - All are working fine, but Redirect Printing is not working (Through Windows 7 Pro) ... (HP Laser Jet 1020 plus - attached in Client PC)
    - it is working fine from Windows XP
    - i was done All terminal setting in both end, also try RDP Login with Administrator User, but issue is not resolve;
    What Microsoft can say about the issue;
    Thanks & Regards,
    VIMAL PRAJAPATI | 09824111686

    Have you checked the Print Service log in event viewer?
    Here's How.
    I have the Microsoft XPS driver on my clients, so I use that fact to my advantage below.
    Click Start Button/Administrative Tools/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Services Manager on the RDSH server
    Click the Sessions tab.  PC’s are listed Under Client Name by their computer name.  Take Note of the corresponding
    ID.  We will use this to locate the Printer information in the Event Log.  
    In the Event Log open Application and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/Print Service/Admin/ and Find the Event ID 823 entry that has the corresponding ID from the sessions tab you previously noted.  
    This Event Log Entry is created at Logon and you can only get the session ID when they are logged in.
    This tells you what client printer was mapped for the client.  The name that appears is the name of the Printer that was set on the client when the printer was installed.
    See if you see any errors here.
    If you see Event Id 823 with the following message “The default printer was changed to Microsoft XPS Document Writer,winspool,Ne00:. See the event user data for context information.”  Twice in a row with no other messages in between, and the first occurs
    at the time the user logged in, then their printer was not properly redirected.
    You see the Microsoft XPS driver mapped for each session prior to Easy Print redirecting the client machine’s Default Printer.
    Since your printer is the HP 1020 I would bet the driver on the client does not work with Easyprint.  I would try the  the HP Universal Print Driver or the driver for a printer that is very close, like the HP 1018.
    Thanks,
    Jeremy

  • Wireless Printing with a linksys wireless print server

    I am new to Mac and I am trying to install my printer Via wireless, I am totally lost I can't even get my printer model into the printer list, I know this is a vague question but any help would be appreciated.

    The Linksys print servers do not claim compatibility with Macs, so you may have some difficulty with this. You may find the discussion in this thread helpful:

  • I want to upgrade to Lightroom 5, but I'm concerned about compatibility with my 2008 intel Core 2 Duo iMac with only 4G of Ram.  Will I be able to run Lighroom 5 if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion?

    I want to upgrade to Lightroom 5, but I'm concerned about compatibility with my 2008 intel Core 2 Duo iMac with only 4G of Ram.  Will I be able to run Lightroom 5 okay if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion?  What will happen to the applications that aren't 64-bit compatible?  Also the Eye-one Display 2 colorimeter to calibrate the monitor will not run on Lion, so that will be an expensive upgrade to an i1DisplayPro. Is the upgrade important enough to offset the expense?  I have an Epson R2000 printer.  Will there be problems with the drivers if I upgrade to Lion?  It would be great to hear from other mac users who are also photographers and who print their own photos.    

    Before upgrading to Lion be sure to read this link:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271
    Adobe lists these requirements:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/tech-specs.html
    Looking at http://www.everymac.com/ even the earliest 2008 iMac was fully 64 bit, even though Boot Camp doesn't support 64 bit Windows on that machine.

  • Creative suite 4 and 5.5 compatable with Windows 8 and Office 2013?

    We have both Creative Suite 4 and a few CS5.5.  One classroom will be moving to Windows 8 and Office 2013 this Summer term.  Will either of these suites work or will we need to upgrade to CS6?

    The only honest answer: You won't know until you try. Generally they will/ should be compatible, but you may require dealing with legacy issues like printer compatibility or thne installer not finding specific folders as well as al lthe usual - security stuff, user privileges, network stuff in shared environements. you would face some of those issues even with CS6 or CC, so it's irrelevant to get a new version until there are real hard reasons beyond these issues. They can all be resolved, it may just take some fiddling and lots of patience.

    Hi Frederick,
    You're spending a lot of money.  I will add my 2¢ -- -- but you must, as I assume you know, fully research your options.
    Environment:
    Start with your workspace (inc. lighting) and your clothes.
    Screen:
    The iMac screens are lovely, but not, from what I hear, monitor-grade accurate.  For critical color work, use NEC or Eizo monitors.  I use NEC, with their SpectraView II software and an X-Rite ColorMunki photospectrometer.  At the time, this was the least expensive color-calibrated workflow.
    Printer:
    Epson's are great, imho.  I use a 3880 in my studio and rent a 9900 by the hour when needed.  I have read of problems (iirc) with one of the printers in the 7000 line, however.  The take-home lesson that I filed in my brain was, "If you're going to spend the money on the 7000 line, just get the 9000 line."
    Aperture workflow:
    Aperture is a fantastic workflow tool.  Since you are adept with PS, you should set PS as your external editor.  Use Apertures formidable tools for storing and organizing your Images, and its robust editing tools for either all your proofing, or all but your most demanding editing needs.  That said, allow a good bit of time to get the feel of Aperture.  It is not at all like Bridge.  But your important choice is which RAW converter you want to use.  There is, imho, no reason to use Aperture if you are going to use Adobe's (or anyone else's) RAW converter.
    Good luck!
    --Kirby.

  • This hardware not compatable with Windows XP due to Logo signage

    My bother (who resides in another state) just purchased an HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer. He tried to connect it to his computer than has XP Pro as the OS, and gets the following error message:
    "this hardware not compatable with Windows XP due to Logo signage"
    Anyone run across or heard of this problem?

    Hi,
    This explaination may help. The CD which came with the printer may not cover for this situation. My suggestion: go to this site to download XP driver & application then install them on the XP machine.

  • When updating attempts compatability with HP websmart then hangs only rstore cures

    when a new update is offered my laptop tries to load the update it then reaches a point where it tries to find compatibility with HP websmart It then hands and if I try to cancel the update firefox then hangs with the loading message and the rotating dots. I have removes all the HP printer files I can find and no longer use a HP printer but the problem persists. Using system restore rights the problem but then I don't have the update. Help please

    Select '''"Don't Check"''' for the "compatibility check" that appears after the restart to install the updates. Firefox won't look beyond the AMO website when looking for the compatibility information for addons, and that HP Websmart addon isn't hosted at AMO.
