Windows 2008 Terminal Services "Easy Print" and Matrix Printers
- by Cesar87
Server: Windows 2008 Server Standard SP2 with "Terminal Services" role
Clients: Windows XP SP3 + .NET 3.5 Framework SP1 + Remote Desktop Client 7.0
We are using "Easy Print" feature which allows programs running on server to "see" printers installed on client machines. Everything works fine, EXCEPT when we send a text-only output to a dot-matrix printer. In this case, the printer only outputs a blank page.
At first, we had problems with the error "Windows Presentation Foundation Terminal Server Print W has encountered a problem and needs to close." but this was fixed by replacing TsWpfWrp.exe with the one from Vista SP1 as suggested here.
But now, we only get a blank page! Every other (graphical) document we sent to printer works 100%.
We also tried to use the "Generic text-only" driver, but the result is same.
Now we are trying to change parameters like print processor on "advanced" tab from printer driver to see if something happen. But this is just guessing and we really don't know what to try anymore.
The problem appears to be on Easy Print driver, but we found almost no resources about it. Any tips are welcome.
