local network printers not redirected

Hi,
You need to add this line in your rdp file:

redirectprinters:i:1

hi David,
well, if i use the type "embedded rdp file" i don't have to add the line you mentioned as it just works.

when i try to set up the rdp-session with type "configured" i can not set any option and don't use any rdp file.

please have a look at my two requestes:
please either make the type "embedded rdp file" respect the display and credential setting.
and/or enhance the type "configured" to redirect all printers.

as what i really want is not to use any rdp-file but the session embedded.

Hi,
I will enter a bug request.

great thanks!
please keep me updated on this.

thanks in advance!

just to let you know: the second parameter has nothing to do with the network printers beeing redirected. i just tested another session with nothing but the "full address" parameter and all network printers are working perfectly.

Have you checked the printer redirection in Resources when you use the configured type?

yes i tried every possible combination with the resources when using configured type.

I've been investigating this issue and I'm not sure if I will be able to respect the display mode with a file. We need to use the ActiveX and set the values.

hi David,
i'm totally fine with the activeX solution. did you manage to reproduce my dilemma?

KR

But you said that with the ActiveX even with the redirect printer it does not work. I don't know what we can do since we already set the redirect printer value.

Could you configure a session with the custom setting and export it to me?

hi David,
i exported the session and when i connect via mstsc it works with this rdp-file.

however when i connect via RDM it does not forward all network printers but only local printers.

tested on latest beta 10.0.10.0 on windows 8.1.

Do you know if the remote printers are using an RDP add-ons like ThinPrint?

i've been told that it uses the "easy print driver"

http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ff519199%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

Just for a test. Could you try RDCMan from microsoft to see if the remote printers appear?

damn. no it does not work with rdcman.

i guess that means it won't work with RDM either. am i right?

Could you verify if you have the Load plug-ins in embedded mode. This value is in the Experience tab page.

hi David,
the option was activated when testing.

Hi,
I suspect that your remote printers are using the RDP add-ins. Like you mentioned RDM is loading them but it's possible that you only have the 64 bit version of the drivers. Could you try RDM 64bit?

hi David,
great suggestion! it works with RDM 64bit!

what kind of restrictions do we have when we use the 64bit-version?

KR
Guenther

We don't have many restriction left with RDM 64. The start-up used to be extremely slower (30 seconds) than the 32 bit version but with the latest beta it's only few seconds.

OK then i will give it a try.

thanks for your patience!

KR
Guenther

You could verify if it's possible to install the 32 bit version of the driver.

nah .. we will switch to 64 bit ...

that way we are sure it works.

thanks again!
