After looking at the con2prt page, I understand now. Thanks to everyone for their help, I get the concept now and I will post again if I have trouble when I get to implementation. -----Original Message----- From: Angus Macdonald [mailto:Angus.Macdonald@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 10:49 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Windows 2000 TS printer mapping That's where using Kix and CON2PRT would work nicely. TS won't autocreate client printers for you like Citrix will. -----Original Message----- From: John Carlson [mailto:johnc@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 12 November 2003 16:43 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Windows 2000 TS printer mapping That was my original intention. Let me clarify by saying that I do not have Citrix, only Win2k TS. I have setup TCP printing on the client to print to the printer and locally that works fine. When the user connects to the TS the printer does not get created in the TS session and they cannot print. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Pavlo Ignatusha Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 10:35 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Windows 2000 TS printer mapping After reading this thead I see that you want to eliminate server at the remote location and your printer at remote location is on JetDirect. At the end of the day you still need to spool the job somewhere before sending it to JetDirect-enabled printer. Your options are to setup print queue on: 1. Dedicated server (you are trying to avoid it) 2. On Citrix Server itself (no good if your client would like to print to the printer outside of Citrix) 3. On the clent PC I suggest you install TCP printing on each client to JetDirect printer and this way they will print to it no matter if in Citrix or not. A bit time consuming but for 10 users it will work. HTH Pavlo Ignatusha Systems and Network Coordinator Pembroke General Hospital Tel. (613) 732-3675 ext.6150 Fax.

I have lurking here for quite a while and woudl like to start by saying I have really learned a lot from all of you. Thank you for that. I am relative newbie to Terminal Services and have made some promises I am having trouble delivering on. My greatest stumbling block is remote printing. I have a client that I am configuring this TS for and he has remote offices of 10 or so users that will be connecting over a WAN. I have 1 workgroup printer in each office and a couple of users will have local printers. My original thinking was to have the workgroup printer connected via Jet Direct in the remote office but this can change if necessary. Currently each remote office has a "server" that has the printer connected via LPT1 and is shared. The other system are printing to that shared printer. If I connect to the TS the printer gets created correctly and prints in this configuration. I tried connecting the printer to a Jet Direct box and connect to the TS the printer does not get created. What is the best way for me to accomplish this? Can you point me to some documentation that may assist me? Any help will be greatly appreciated. ******************************************************** This Week's Sponsor - RTO Software / TScale What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers?
