HI Ron,

Many of the new cheap multi-function devices are GDI printers (no
smarts, not networkable). The only way you'll have any success with them
is to use some sort of universal printer driver. Check out thinprint,
uniprint, simply printing (tricerat), emrgent online (www.go-eol.com)
etc.

Regards,

Rick

Subject: [THIN] MFD Printers on TS2003 - Any success out there


Well, we just installed a month ago a new TS2003 for 50 users to replace
the existing TS2000.  Only have been testing with a handful of users and
all is looking good, they are loving the new look, stability etc.  Now,
they are asking about remote printers (about 20 home/remote users) and
if they will work. =3D20

Has anyone had success using the MultiFunctionDevices from HP or other?
Yeah, I know - I personally despise those as well - more trouble than
they are worth, but our remote users are getting them for fax/scanning &
printing.  My understanding now in TS2003, any USB printer will work but
those DOT4's will NOT. =3D20

Do I need to hunt down a MFD that installs as a USB and not a DOT4?  I
can only use native RDP printing (i.e. cannot push Tricerat etc - too
costly for client)
