Hi,
I've problems with slow printing in our new RDS 2016 environment. The problem is related to the Easy Print driver which works but is very slow in most cases. I have set the policies to not use Easy Print driver first, so if a matching driver is found it works well. But since there are numerous of printers/drivers being used in our company I would like to avoid installing every single driver needed. In our old Citrix environment we map client printers with server drivers via a Citrix policy. But I have not been able to find anything like that for RDS 2016 except using a NTPrintSubs.inf file in C:\Windows\System32\TSPDRW\ folder. But I do not get that to work and I'm not sure is it is because I have configured it the wrong way or if it is not supported anymore. I have registered the registry REG_SZ keys PrinterMappingINFName (C:\Windows\System32\TSPDRW\NTPrintSubs.inf) and PrinterMappingINFSection (Printers) in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Wds\rdpwd. And I have entered information in the file like:
[Printers]
"HP LaserJet 4200 PS" = "HP LaserJet 4200 PS Class Driver"
Is this solution still supported and is there any detailed guide somewhere regarding exactly which steps is needed? Or is there any other way of resolve this issue?
Most grateful for any help
