Remote Desktop Easy Print with Windows 7 Professional host

Is it possible to utilize Easy Print with a Windows 7 Pro client hooking up to a Windows 7 Pro RDP Host? Easy print doesn't seem to be present in that scenario... but with Ultimate it seems to work...
Trying to print to a Dell 5110cn from my home computer with Win7-Pro to a printer here at work. Again, this works with a different machine with Win-7-Ultimate but doesn't with Win-7-Professional
Dell 5110cn <-[network]-> Windows7Pro client(@work) <-[RDP]-> Windows7Pro host(@home)

Hi,
No, the destination host needs to be Ultimate or Enterprise edition (or Windows Server 2008/2012 with RDSH installed). What you can do instead is install the exact same printer driver that you have on the client PC onto the host PC. That way
when you connect it will create a redirected printer using the manufacturer's driver instead of RD Easy Print driver.

Redirected printers using Remote Desktop Easy Print driver work only once during session

Hello all
We are running Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services Sessions hosts with printer redirection allowed using only the Easy Print Driver, we have no other drivers installed on the servers. All client printers are redirected and can print fine, but
only once per session! We have tested with several different client printers and they all work a single time in each session. After that the user needs to log off and then back on again to be able to print once again, but only once. Needless to say, our users
are annoyed. If I look at the c:\windows\system32\spool\printers folder while jobs are printing, but failing, I can see the spool files appearing and disappearing as jobs are spooled. No errors in the event logs accompany the behaviour. Our clients are running
Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. All exhibit the same problem. The error looks a little like what is described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2925429
While similar, this problem describes a scenario where Easy Print is not used, but XPS is, and since Easy Print is based on XPS and the behaviour is very similar, I am tempted to make a connection.
I have checked all the usual stuff with permissions etc, and no manufacturer provided drivers are present. The problem appears on newly installed systems as well as one that have been running for some time. Restarting the spooler services does not resolve
the problem. Actually I do not think it is related to the spooler service or driver framework at all, but rather is an Easy Print driver issue that is occurring much later in the process, if not I would see some errors in the logs and no jobs would print at
all.
Anyone ever heard of something like this?
Thanks
Morgan

Hi Morgan,
Based from your description, users can only print once during single RDP session, I suggest you check if this issue also happens locally.
In addition, after the first print attempt, does any other issue exist on the RDP session?
Is the server fully patched? If there are any available driver updates, please also apply them. If there are any third party software installed, try disable/uninstall them to see if the issue persists.
You can also enable print auditing to get more detailed information about this issue.

Remote Desktop Farm Printing

Hello,
I am setting up a new 2008 R2 RDS load balancing Farm. I have seen other 2008 R2 Farms with identical print servers setup on each RDSH server. Each user gets an identical list of printers no matter which server they log into.
They use rdp profiles to follow them to each server.
Is it best to setup print server on each server or is there a different way to do this? It worked pretty well at other site. I just want to do it the best way. If there is any documentation thats good too.
Thanks!

Hi,
The best practice for setting printer in office environment depends on company’s requirement and many other factors. You can install printer or each server and then assign to use by users or make printer redirection setting for client to use as specified printer
is allocate to the users session. If you want then also try to RD Easy print service for your case. For more information you can go through beneath link.

Remote Desktop Services Printer Redirection with easy print not working as Desired

Hi,
I have a Terminal Server Farm with a number of Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Session Host Servers in the Environment. There is also a RD Gateway server which is used to connect to the RD Session host servers in the environment. We
had configure the policy "Use Terminal Services easy Print Driver First" for all the RD Session Host servers. Everything was working well untill a couple of users Complaint about slow printing on Easy Print. While trying to troubleshoot the issue we came
to know that when we by-pass the RD Gatewat and make a Direct connection to the RD Session Host Servers we are able to Print Really fast using Easy Print. Only When we use the RD gateway server we get the problem with the Printing.
As we could not get through this problem and we are not in a condition to by-pass RD Gateway for connections we decided to put the TS Easy print Driver as a Second option. We went ahead and identified the 3 printers for which printing was slow. we
Installed the Drivers for the same printers on all the Terminal Server and Disabled the policy "Use Termianl Server Easy print Driver First". After this we were able to print fast on the 3 printers having Slow printing issues. All the other Printers were using
Easy print.
After a day we realised that there were more than 20 drivers for Different printers installed in the Print Server Properties. We started getting viered problems with the Printing on all the Terminal servers like, Print Spooler Service Crashing, Hanging,
Users not able to redirect printers at all. To avoid this we Removed the Driver Packages but they came back the very next day.
I am not sure what could be causing this kind of behavior. I would really appriciate if someone can help he with these two problems
1) Easy print Working Slow only when using RD Gateway Server
2) Printer Drivers Getting installed on Terminal Servers when Easy Print Policy is disabled.

1) Easy print Working Slow only when using RD Gateway Server
> Difficult to track down especially through forum. Looking for some known issues/hotfixes
954743 FIX: After you apply hotfix 954744, printing performance may be significantly slower when you print documents by using Terminal Services Easy Print
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=954743
The Remote Desktop Easy Print (RD Easy Print or TS Easy Print) uses the XPS print driver that ships with .NET Framework.
2) Printer Drivers Getting installed on Terminal Servers when Easy Print Policy is disabled.
> If Easy print is not the first driver then it installs the driver if they are InBox drivers
> If these are non-inbox drivers - This is because administrators are RDPing to the server from another PC with several printer/drivers installed.
When they RDP with printer redirection enabled, the drivers get automatically installed.
To avoid this, either turn off printer redirection at server level from RDP-TCP properties - might not be feasible if users need redirected printers
Else make sure that when admins RDP, printer redirection is turned off so that drivers are not automatically installed
This was a major issue in 2k3, i havent tested it in 2k8 though
This behavior is related to the change you made in Easy print driver behavior

I haven't tried it with Windows 7 but am having pretty good luck with a Windows XP Professional machine. What I did was just found the IP address to the Windows machine by:
Command Prompt, type ipconfig and locate the IP address.
Start RD, enter the IP address of the Windows machine, if the machine has a user name and password you have to enter that and then it works.
At least that's all I had to do. The key is knowing the IP Address and login and password of the Windows machine.

Why won't my printer print with Windows 8?

Why won’t my printer print with Windows 8?
Have you just upgraded, or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can’t get your printer to work? If so, this may help you. A lot of people have questions about installing their printer on a new OS. This will help you answer those questions and make sure that you get everything installed.
Before You Start
Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8 computer, you should check to make sure the printer is compatible with the new OS. The link below will give you a list of the printers that will work in Windows 8.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03168175&lc=en&cc=us&destPage=document&dlc=en
If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 form another version of Windows, make sure to completely uninstall all of the software for your printer. It should still print, but to use all the functions you will need to reinstall the software, if it’s available.
Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer.
USB. You should make sure that you have a USB cable that is no longer than 6 ft. (roughly 2m). Make sure to connect the printer directly to the computer. Do not use a USB hub.
Ethernet cable. Make sure you have the network setup, that you have a free cable port on the router, and that you have an Ethernet cable available.
Wireless. You should make sure that you have the wireless network setup, and that you have the password for the wireless network.
1.     Installing Via USB
Installing via USB in Windows 8 has become much simpler for HP printer users. In other versions of the Windows OS you had to start the installation and wait for it to ask you for the USB connection. If you didn’t, you would have to uninstall the printer from the Printers/Devices folder, and then start the install. In Windows 8, that will not be a problem. If you plug the printer’s USB cable in and then install the printer’s software, it will still work. Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via USB click the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460670&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
2.     Installing Via an Ethernet Network Connection
For an Ethernet network connected printer the install is amazingly simple. All you have to do is connect the printer to the network. Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you. Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available. It’s really that easy.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
3.     Installing Via a Wireless Network Connection.
For a wireless network connected printer the install is amazingly simple as well. All you have to do is connect the printer to the network. Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you. Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available. It’s pretty much the same as an Ethernet install, just wireless.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
Alternate Install Methods
With Windows 8, many printers’ drivers are installed with the OS. These are known as InOS drivers, since they come built into the operating system. If you have one of those printers, all you should have to do is connect it to the computer via USB, or connect it to the network via Ethernet or wireless. Once you have that done Windows will handle the rest. There are alternate methods of installing your printer if the normal methods are not working for some reason. You can install the printer either using the Printer Install Wizard, or through Windows Updates.
Printer Install Wizard:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02681060&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
Windows Update:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460648&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
Note: The Laserjet drivers for the Asia-Pacific and Japan won’t be released until a later date. Check the support site linked below for driver availability. I will update this post once they become available.

HP Laserjet p2015d auto duplex printing with Windows 7 64 bit operating system

I have used the HP Laserjet p2015d with Windows 7 32 bit operating system and have been able to use the AUTOMATIC DUPLEX feature of the printer without problems.
Now, however, I have installed the 64 bit version of Windows 7 operating system and the AUTO DUPLEX does not work and is not shown as being available on the PROPERTIES menu of the printer.
Is it possible to use the AUTO DUPLEX feature of the printer with Windows 7 64 bit operating system.
All replies welcomed! Aaron in Calif.

Hi Aaron,
Make sure the Automatic Duplexing option is enabled:
Enter Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
Right click the printer icon, then click Printer Properties.
Click the Device Settings tab.
Set the Automatic Two-Sided Duplex Accessory as installed and click OK to save the change.
Now Automatic Duplexing should become available.

Driver problems with Windows Professional XP 64bit Edition

Well, after looking around the forum here I found an answer that works! I wish I could remember who to give credit too though. I installed the latest Vista drivers and I got static all the time. I tried another members suggestion of disabling the X-Fi device in the Device manager every time I log off and then enable the X-Fi the next time I log in. I have great sound as long as I do that. Also, for connecting to a home system I am using the DTS-60, $00 on this website, but it works well if you havea DTS decoder. I am using the X-Fi extreme Music edition. Good Luck, hopefully another driver is on the way.

Remote desktop connection issue with an RDP client while connecting to some of windows 2008 and 2003 operating system flavors and not receiving SDin value choice 26 from DomainMCSPDU

Hi Team
We have our RDP client and i came across with one issue "Expected data got 3" with this client.
This issue is getting while connecting some of below operating system flavors.
Microsoft Windows 2008 Enterprise edition
Microsoft Windows 2008 Standard edition
Microsoft Windows 2003 servers
When we are trying to get RDP to those servers with our client, getting "Expected data got 3" error. One more main thing here is the specified error is not getting for all the servers of same operating system in above list.
Able to get the RDP console for those servers using mstsc client.
When i read the [MS-RDPBCGR] specification, i found the below points
mcsSDin (variable): Variable-length PER-encoded MCS Domain PDU (DomainMCSPDU) which encapsulates an MCS Send Data Indication structure (SDin, choice 26 from DomainMCSPDU), as specified in [T125] section 11.33 (the ASN.1 structure definitions
are given in [T125] section 7, parts 7 and 10). The userData field of the MCS Send Data Indication contains a Security Header and a Valid Client License Data (section 2.2.1.12.1) structure.
In my code i am not getting SDin value as 26. Is it the problem with Remote desktop Licensing in RDP servers as specified in the specification like "The userData field of the MCS Send Data Indication contains a Security Header and a Valid
Client License Data (section 2.2.1.12.1) structure."
Could you please explain me is this issue is happening due to Licence configuration in RDP server and please provide support with server side configuration if any because our code works for other servers ?
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan G.

How to share my printer with windows 7 professional

I do have the System Preferences > Sharing > Printer Sharing checked ON.
Assistance would be appreciated.

Logging into Windows Server 2012 from Remote Desktop requires "Connect with Smart Card"; how do I disable this?

I am using pretty much the default setup. I cannot figure out how to disable this. I do not want to use smart cards.
Any ideas?

Does this mean you're trying to RDP from an XP box, therfore have the Remote Desktop feature on the server set to "less secure"? Sounds like thats what disables network authentication, prompting the Smart Card request.
If you simply click to login as a different user, you can login without a smart card, to include the same user as was being prompted for the card.
I expect if you choose the Remote Desktop feature requires network authentication on the server, the smart card requirement goes away, but you'll need to login from Win7 or newer clients. Not sure where Vista falls, probably okay too.

IOS Remote Desktop App resolves hostname but throws Host is not reachable error.

Hello,
I am trying to use the Remote Desktop app on my iPad running iOS 7.0.2 to connect to a server through our Juniper VPN. When I type the hostname or IP address I get an error that say "Host is not reachable". If I connect through my Mac I have no
problem when on the same VPN. I have looked through all of the setting in Junos Pulse and it is setup to route all traffic through the VPN, and I do not know of anything that would be blocking it on the network end.
Edit: I am connecting to a Windows Server 2008 R2 box with RDP turned on with all types of connections.

Hi,
According to the log, your iPad tried to connect the remote server with IP address 10.100.01.01/32. Please check if it is the correct IP address of the server.
Also, please make sure that your iPad can connect to your VPN network successfully and get a valid IP address so that it can remote your internal server.
Thanks.
