Hi,
first the primary question: Is the remote desktop service printer redirection with the NTPrintSubs.INF still functional in Windows Server 2012 R2?
If Yes: Please explain how to get it working.
If No: How can i rebuild a similar behavior?
I followed multiple guides like:
https://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ff519149(v=ws.10).aspx
But on server 2012 R2 it's not working.
The File contains:
Signature="$CHICAGO$"
[Printers]
"ZDesigner GC420t" = "Remote Desktop Easy Print"
I also configured the EasyPrint as fallback driver like explained in: https://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ff519145(v=ws.10).aspx
This works as long as the drivers are installed on the server.
But there are some drivers (like ZDesigner GC420t - version: 5.1.7.6290) with wrong default settings. They are not copied from the client (same driver & version). For those drivers i need the EasyPrintDrivers back (they work). Or an option to set the
defaultsettings for the dynamicly mapped printers.
The 3rd option would be de uninstallation of the driver, but unfortunately i can't because of some important printers directly installed on the server. So i tried the printer redirection with the NTPrintsubs.INF but without success so far.
As far as i can tell, there are no printer related errors in the event logs.
Thanks for your help!
