Even when I right clicked and selected Remove Printer as Administrator, my computer would try to remove the printer - it would say Removing Device - then it would fail - it would say Driver Missing. IT's best to use Easy Print when ever possible and I highly recommend that all RDS supported printers be type 4 drivers that are Easy Print compatible. The printer wouldn't work properly, and I had a second 'phantom' printer stuck in my device window. **This fix still does not directly address the underlying issue which is likely a printer driver compatibility or type issue. Now users will be able to print to their locally attached printers without everyone on the RDS seeing a ton of redirected printers. *What has happened here is that we have shifted the responsibility for printing from the RDP client to the RD server. Use \\PCName\Printer-Name to connect to printer. Log in to the RDS and add the printer you just shared out on the PC. (now the PC is the print server for the print device)Īustindp91 mentioned and disable printer redirection.ģ. Share out the printer from the workstation and make sure it is listed in AD. For a way to be able to print to local/USB printers without the redirect issue, perform the following:ġ. The problem withĪustindp91's fix is that users won't be able to print to their locally attached printers. Often you will see the redirected printers again. The problem with Torch's fix is that it does not resolve the underlying issue that caused the redirected printers in the first place. Torch has identified the solution to temporarily get rid of the redirected printers andĪustindp91 has given a solution to stop redirected printers from coming back.
