Sorry dude, You are SOL the HP LaserJet 1000 is not supported in terminal services unless you buy a third party utility that will allow it to use both the USB and the 1000 as a universal printer driver such as Screwdrivers FXP by triCerat.com or Universal Printer by Emergent Online (http://www.go-eol.com ) See the HP compatibility list at: http://www.hp.com/cposupport/printers/support_doc/bpl10248.html Regards, Jim Kenzig http://thethin.net -----Original Message----- From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jeremiah Kivi Shapiro Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 7:07 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Terminal Services Printer Redirection Dear List, I am trying to print at home from a terminal services session with a server at work, using automatic printer redirection. When I am logged on, my home printer does show up in the server's list of printers as expected, but I receive an error when I attempt to actually print anything, even a test page. More detail: At work, we have a cable Internet connection, with the cable modem connected directly to a Linksys router, which is then connected to the rest of the network. I have set up the router to pass through any requests for port 3389 (the one used by Terminal Services), to a Windows 2000 Server. We have set up Terminal Services Licensing but have not yet bought any actual client access licenses: as I understand it, the license server will provide a free 90-day license anyway to clients, and we've got about 85 days left right now. I also used the terminal services client creator (32-bit) to create a pair of installation floppies. At home, I am running Windows XP Home, and I used the floppies to install the terminal services client. I now connect to the router by its IP address, and it successfully passes through that request to the Windows 2000 server, where I can log on quite happily. At home, I also have an HP Laserjet 1000 Series printer connected to my computer via USB. I plugged it in, then installed it using the appropriate Windows XP printer drivers from HP's web site. Then, over the Terminal Services connection, I installed the appropriate Windows 2000 printer drivers on the server, also from HP's web site. Just to be sure of things, I then reinstalled the Terminal Services client and rebooted my home computer, and when I connected to the server, lo and behold but there was my home printer. Except that when I tried to print to it, I received a very uninformative alert stating simply that there had been an error in printing. What can I do about this?
