Hi Brian, The painful part about answering this is the suggestion I might be a gunu ;-) A relatively easy way way to do what you want is to use lpd/lpr. That way you got "driverless" (lpd doesn't care) connectivity between your servers, with the only stipulation being that the drivers have to be for similar or compatible printer models. lpr/lpd is somewhat more costly since it requires formatted print jobs with the print formatting done at the "client" end. But it works printing to just about anything.

I tried to add create a mapping in the 2003 servers ntprint.inf which held the v2 driver name but pointed to a v3 driver installed... unfortunately, this seemed to end in tears and the job never appeared.... and the queue stuck... I guess that the problem here is that I am driving from v3 driver at the terminal server, creating the print job and then sending to a printer which spools to the printer using a v2 driver for a printer with the same driver name. ok, now, I must admit, I;m not altogether up to speed with the printing process in term services and am currently churning through www.printingsupport.com / Brians books /bernards books, but I can't see any stuff about printing from v3 drivers to printers attached to print server with v2 drivers... can this be done??? in fact, what exactly is the process, if one prints from a terminal server to a network print server, why doesn't the print server just pass on the print job?? thanks in advance, brianos ======================================================================== ====== This message is for the sole use of the intended recipient.
