Printer redirection using RDP ActiveX on Windows 8.1

I am using RDP ActiveX to connect to RDP server. Printer redirection is not happening with Windows 8.1 using RDP ActiveX.
Using MSTSC application printer redirection happens properly.
It works fine with all OS except Windows 8.1.
Windows 8.1 uses ActiveX 6.3.9600.
This happens with Windows 7 also when ActiveX is upgraded to 6.3.9600
Server is not installing Easy print when RDP ActiveX is used but works fine with MSTSC application.
I tired to use the interfaces, IMsRdpClient5, IMsRdpClient7, IMsRdpClient8 and IMsRdpClient9 but did not find any success.
Any help on this will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Albin

I have an old (read ancient) Apple Laserwriter 12/640 PS laser printer - that still prints exceptionally well - that I want to print to using my PC (running Windows 7). Suggestions? While using Windows XP Pro, I used PC MacLan's version 9.01 and it worked beautifully. PC Maclan is no longer in business. Windows 7, however, doesn't even recognize any Apple printers in any of its lookups. Suggestions?

The LaserWriter 12/640 PS is a PostScript Level 2 and PCL5 printer with support for LPD (http://support.apple.com/kb/ta21876). How is the printer connected today? An external cable adapter (such as the Apple Ethernet Twisted-Pair Transceiver Model M0437) would allow Ethernet. Providing that an appropriate printer driver can be found (it may be worth checking whether a universal driver or a driver for a similar HP printer could be used), it should not be impossible to set up LPR printing under Windows 7.

Error 5 While using RDP clinet on windows 8 64 bit

Dear All
while trying to connect using RDP clint on windows 8 64bit its givubg the error5
tnx in advance

Hi,
For the error 5, what is the detailed error message? A whole error message can better help us troubleshoot this issue.
Before we get the whole error message, I suggest you refer to this link for troubleshooting: (the guide is also useful for Windows 8)
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows7/why-can-t-i-connect-using-remote-desktop-connection
Check the network connection, permission to connect to the RDP, port and firewall settings, etc.

Printer redirection using Server 2008 R2 RDS

Hi
I have a server 2008 R2 (not a domain controller) running as a remote desktop session host with 2 remote XP SP3 client PCs connecting to it. Up until Friday last week these client PCs could successfully print via the redirected printer using the RD Easy
Print Driver. As from this week though all printing has ceased! No updates have been installed on either server or clients in the interim. When I try to send a test print from the server (logged on using RD 7 for XP) it tells me that the test print has failed,
do I want to run the troubleshooter? If I say yes then the troubleshooter fails with an unexpected error, the details of which include error code 0x80070057. If i try to print from the server using notepad I get the error "the parameter is incorrect". If I
print from wordpad the document appears briefly in the queue but nothing prints. If I manually add a printer (using specific printer driver - not easy print driver) and choose the correct redirected port and then print using this printer, the print job appears
briefly in the queue and then disappears - nothing appears in the print queue on the client PC and nothing prints. Initially printing like this caused the client TsWpfWrp.exe to fail but upgrading the version of TsWpfWrp.exe stopped this problem. I have tried
updating to .net 4.0 on the client PC, upgrading from RD 6.1 to 7.0, XP SP2 to SP3 all to no avail.
Does anyone know the solution to this problem? I am at a complete loss as to the way forward. I have checked all group policies and set all the correct permissions on the spool and PRINTERS folder in system32 on the server and nothing seems to help.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
Please try to check the following items.
1.
Remove the Remote desktop easy print from Print Management console.
2.
Remove the complete package.
3.
Then install the Remote desktop easy print driver again.
Please also check if the
fenableRDR key still exists in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Wds\rdpwd.

Terminal-printer redirection is not working

Hello, I need your help - the situation is: we have an old PC (with Windows XP installed) and need to connect to terminal server (based on Windows Server 2008 R2). Also this old pc have a local printer (USB connected) and we need to print documents from
terminal to this local printer. Unfortunately, this local printer is unavailable from terminal session and I don't know why. We already checked all the necessary options, printer redirection is on at this moment. But there is no effect. How can we solve this
problem? Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Here for your case I would suggest you try enabling Remote Desktop Easy Print Service and verify. But there are points for running this service.
(1) RDC 6.1 or above (Windows XP with Service Pack 3 and above includes this) {Suggest to have RDP 7 for Windows XP}
(2) Even if RDC 6.1 or above is used, the user must install a supported version of .NET Framework separately. Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (which includes .NET Framework 3.0 SP1) can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=109422
*In Windows Vista SP2 with RDC 7.0 and KB971644 installed, .NET Framework is not required
(3) Terminal Services role.
(4) Remote Desktop Session Host Role.
In addition need to see the group policy setting under below path.
Computer Configuration -> Administrative templates -Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host -> Printer Redirection
Use Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver first: “Enabled” for Easy Print redirection, and it has to be “Disabled” for Legacy Print. For “Not configured”, Easy Print is chosen by default.
You can find more information and configuration details over below.

Printing problem with Konica Minolta BizHub282 using RDP on Windows Server 2008 R2

Hello,
I have an office setup as follows: Local office IP adress scheme 192.168.201.x. There is a Konica Minolta BizHub 282 printer connected to the 192.168.201.x network as well as around 10 workstations running Windows 7. There are also about
10 additional teleworkers WHO DO NOT NEED print access to the Minolta 282. All of their data is on a cloud server. I have them setup to first connect to the cloud server using a RRAS PPTP VPN and then to start an RDP session to the separate
RDP server. The Konica Minolta works ??okay?? with the easy print services and until now, we have just dealt with the lack of features and the occasional print job that goes crazy and prints out 400 blank pages (btw, this is usually on Excel) or a job
that cuts off the margins even when you have it set to "fit to page" (this usually happens in Adobe.) When I originally set this up, I tried loading the native Konica drivers on the server, but there was no joy because I couldn't get it to
work using the native drivers. The problem at hand is a feature called "account track." This feature authenticates your print job by using an account code. If there is no code, the job just disappears. When I load the native
Konica driver, the ability to turn on this feature is greyed out (see below):
When I use easy print, the codes seem to go through, but as I mentioned earlier, sometimes the print job just goes insane. After researching this, it seems to me that there are two ways to overcome this if we can't turn off the account track feature:
1) Overcome the driver problem. I've tried both of their current drivers without success: VXL and Visual Postscript. When I login to RDP, the (redirected) Konica 282 printer is listed, but when I try to print, it fails due to the missing account track code.
I'm hoping that there is a registry hack to turn this feature on by default with the code or a driver version that works with RDP. They have a WHQL driver available, but it didn't work any better. Is there a way to report this issue to the WHQL labs? Maybe
I can light a fire under Konica's rear end and motivate them to fix the driver.
2) I saw one discussion where the guy installed the printer out in the clouds as a local printer. He seemed to have a site-to-site VPN, not a client-to-site VPN, so this worked. Is there a way to do something similar when the customer connects to the
VPN through standard "connect to workplace" setup? I tried pinging the Konica 282 from the server while logged into the VPN, but the printer could not be found.
3) I considered setting it up as a google cloud print prnter, but that would require everyone to setup a google account and add a layer of complexity.
Anyone else run into this and have a solution? If not, does anyone have any ideas on a solution or workaround?
Thanks,
Jeffery Smith

Hi Jeffery,
Thank you for your comment.
Yeah, you can use universal print driver by configuring Remote Desktop Easy print on RDS Server. Install the driver on RDS server. Now to configure Easy print you need to have minimum client RDP 6.1(But suggest you to install RDP 8.1), .Net Framework 3.5 or
above and RDSH role.
Also under GPO setting need to check below settings.
Do not allow client print redirection: Disable
Use Terminal Service Easy print printer driver first: Enable
Computer Configuration > Administrative templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Printer redirection
For more information, you can refer below articles.

RDP users with Printer redirection enabled, cause Terminal Server 2008R2 to hang for about 10 seconds

We have several 2008R2 Terminal Servers with roughly 40 users working on each of them. Everytime a user logs on or off with printer redirection enabled in his RDP client (we use the Easy print feature), all other users experience a freeze of
10 seconds on that server. Needless to say, this behaviour of the server is not acceptable. We searched all of Google and implemented and tested every proposed solution, including the registry additions to the lanman part but all with no effect. Can anyone
provide us with a possible solution? It would be immensely appreciated!

Hi,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
Once user is successfully log on, can able to print the document easily?
Which version of client OS & RDP using for your environment?
Initially I would like you to try installing latest RDP 8.1 if you are using Windows 7 and if using Windows XP then please use RDP 7. In addition check .Net Framework 3.5 or higher installed. Apart as Bruno suggested, please check the latest driver installed
on RDS server. Also check the Event log for any information. For more detail, refer below article.

Print Report using ASCII command through printer selection available on windows

Hi,
I'm using Labview 2009 to create a report using Report Generation Toolkit.
Creating a report is not the problem, the problem is I need to print the report manually by sending an ASCII Code.
I noticed that there are few example on send ASCII code command, but neither of them are related to printing.
The printer I use is Panasonic dot matrix printer KX-P1121E with USB port. (Fanfold type of paper)
I used "NI_report_lvclass: Print report.vi" from Report Generation before this to print my report, everything is okay and not receiving any error.
But I noticed that after finish printing, the paper will automatically feed out as if that VI (Print report.vi) is sending out "Form Feed" (FF) Command to the printer.
My application cannot use this method because I need to print a set of data in every minute. If the data only have 2 rows, then it will be a wasting a lot of paper if everytime finished printing paper feeding out. I want the printer to continue standby on the same paper after finished printing previous data. In other words, maybe just manually send "Line Feed or Carriage Return" to the printer.
So I have a few things need to be clarified step by step;
1. How can I send an ASCII Code to my printer? Do you have any example for this? link below is the character of ASCII Codes that can be use :http://webpages.charter.net/dperr/links/esc_p83.htm
2. Can I send a report created by report generation to be printed using this ASCII command method?
3. If my printer is setup by using windows (Meaning: Available on "Printer and Faxes" list), How can I configure the printer setup in sending the ASCII Code?
Really appreciated your reply
Thanks!

Hi Zwired1,
Just to make sure I fully understand the situation - I am assuming since you say you are printing to two different printers that when you are using the Print Report.vi you are using the printer name string to specify which printer you would like to print on. And if the printer that you specify is not functioning it automatically prints on the other printer, is that correct?
From looking at the code in the Print Report.vi, it looks like if you specify a printer name in the input string, if there is a problem with that printer or if that printer is unavailable, the VI should not print anything, so please let me know if that is not the behavior you are seeing.
For your question about checking the health of printers, there is a VI in the report gen toolkit called Query Available Printers. You can find it if you open up the Print Report.vi and choose the Standard Report instance, the Query Available Printers.vi is on the block diagram of that VI. It will return the list of available printers and the default printer.
I hope that helps,

How do I fix redirects when using Firefox 30? Windows 8.1.

I get redirected and/or pop ups while using Firefox 30 with Windows 8.1. It began immediately with the downloading of said Windows 8.1, so I think it came with that download, and although I have run deep scans and even a pre-boot scan with Avast, plus a scan with IObit Anti Malware, I still get redirects and/or pop ups.
It is an intelligent redirect (context sensitive), but tries to get money from you. For example, I had tried to stop the pop ups [redirects, perhaps] with the pop up blocker likely built into Firefox, but Firefox Help led me instead to an 800 # that offered to connect remotely and fix my PC with Certified Techs as you will see in the chat below. It appeared to be a function of Firefox, not a redirect.
Just after the chat with the 800 outfit I opened FireFox and it went to the (default) url: start.mysearchdial.com/ and a string of more hash, which is possibly how the popups get propagated?
I went to mozilla via url and soon got encouraged to download new version, saying current one out of date. But it was going to download from: http://downloadsoftware.pw/download/firefox2/
So it is not only very intelligent, it is also resistant to a lot of software removal tools.
What might you suggest? I have not tried many of those tools yet.

MySearchDial should have an entry in the Windows Control Panel, but possibly also have its hooks into all your browsers.
Checking and cleaning that will take a few steps. I suggest starting here:
Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
Then, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Finally, you can "mop up" remaining issues with the scanning/cleaning tools listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Are you able to rid yourself of it?

Saving each image as different size - is it an option for you? I would save images with their name as: 20x30.png, 16x20.png etc etc.
Or explain whether you want these in a webpage in which case only one image is necessary and different sizes are displayed with good CSS code. this is question for Dreamweaver forum if this is what you want.

Hi.
I think I solved this yesterday. We got 1 printserver, with an alias, which we had this problem to connect to. I noticed that there is a difference between x86 and 64bits system entries in the registry...
When you are having a 64bit system, you must use REG_QWORD instead of REG_DWORD, REG_DWORD is only to be used in x86 system! See below.
Windows 2008 server R2 64-bit
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print
= ”DnsOnWire” = REG_QWORD Decimal = 1
(reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\print /v DnsOnWire /t REG_QWORD /d 1)
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Parameters
= DisableStrictNameChecking = REG_QWORD Decimal = 1
(reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters /v DisableStrictNameChecking /t REG_QWORD /d 1)
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Parameters\
REG_SZ = OptionalNames = “aliasname” (C-name record in DNS)
(reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters /v OptionalNames /t REG_SZ)

Cannot print using RDP, with a custom page size ,on HP Laserjet M1217nfw MFP

Dear Team,
i have on the server win 2008 R2 standard , i have installed the drivers of HP Laserjet M1217nfw MFP printer ,
on the client i have win pro 7 SP1.
i need to print through RDP the documents generated in my application which i access remotely using RDP.
i know the printer drivers are installed on client and server both.
the issue is of creation of custom pages to print the document in proper format so that it prints in the client PC with proper formatting.
we are currently successfully printing on HP Laserjet P3015 printer but at a different location. and i have 5 branches still to be able to print this document from the application,
I need you advise and assistance as to how do i go about achieving my objective with this printer,
Thanking you in advance
regards
Vibes

Hello JBC666,
I understand that you are having an issue with printing wireless from your M1217nfw. I can understand how frustrating this can be. I would like to confirm a couple of things with you to get better understanding of your setup.
1) How far away from the printer is the router?
2) Has there been an recent changes that could have caused the issue?
As well printing a network test report, is an excellent option to find out if there is any issues with the connection at all. I have included the following steps to print the test.
1) Press the wrench button
2) Press the right arrow until you see Network Config
3) Press Ok
4) Press the right arrow until you see Network Test
5) Press Ok
1) Does anything fail on this test?
2) What is the signal quality?
3) Are you able to view the printers embedded web server?
   Steps to accessing the embedded web server
   1) Open up your internet browser
   2) Type the IP address (from the test report) into the address bar
   3) Press Enter
Thank you.

How to print when using Windows 8 Adobe Reader

How does one print a simple .pdf document using Adobe Reader in Windows 8. With the document open, the print button is visible on the tool bar but clinking on that only brings up the screen asking where do I want to save the document. It is already saved...I just want to print it! Clicking on file and then selecting print results in the same. I've never had this problem before. I have been a long time Adobe user but always WIndows 7 or Windows XP. This Windows 8 is killing me.
Thanks for any help you can offer!

This sounds like you have 'Print to File' set; uncheck it (Advanced button on the Print panel).
