Printers Not working with Terminal Services on Windows Servers 2003

[Richard_199]

I have several printers that arent working with windows server but a few that are. It seems as though the older printers work, but the brand new ones dont. Is it true that HP doesnt support Server 2003?

Richard:

I don't think this forum would exist if HP didn't support WIN2K3. Please post the models of printers your having problems with. Do the printers work natively (outside of Terminal Services)?

Thanks

I have a Laserjet 1300 and Laserjet 2300 that are not working. I install them through terminal services but they still dont go. When I try to get the latest drivers, the latest option is Windows 2000 and not 2003 Server. I was talking to an online support specialist the other day, and he said HP didnt support HP, which I why I said that in the first post.

I'm leaving for a customer visit now. I'll try to find the alleged drivers when I return this evening.

problem found. Terminal services doesnt allow local printers to be connected through USB and thats what I was using. I switched to LPT1 ports for both laserjets and they are both working fine.

Took a while, but I finally got my help, lol. Thanks
