Topic: invalid printer error question Posted: 10 Feb 2010 at 10:12am
I have an application that is accesses by users via Terminal Services 2008. One user prints a report to a printer that is installed on the TS that is a network printer, called oki320. The report printes fine. Now we need the new user in a different location to print their vw\ersion of the report. Right now the printer is connected via usb to the computer and named oki320South. When user connects to TS it shows as oki320South (redirected etc....) In code I use printoptions.printername="oki320South" when it try to print it gives the invalid printer error. The connection in the redircected note will change often, so how do I make it work or do I need to make this a network printer as well?

after some testing by setting the deafult on the local to the new oki it prints in TS. Other problem is we use a custom sized form and the TDS session changes back to letter every time user connects since it is a new session/connection. Have found scripts to remove session id from a printer but I do not want to impersonate and admin on the low level folks. Also dound out that you cannot specify a session for TS to use everytime. So I bit the bullet and ordered network ready oki320. Overnight shipping is terrible.....
