Terminal Services / Citrix Printing

[kishragu]

Hi,

From my local PC, I'm logging on to a citrix server. On the citrix server we have Terminal Services Client as a published application. Upon using terminal services and connecting to the remote computer, the printers installed locally on the citrix server are not getting carried forward to the remote computer. I have also checked the option of "local resources->printers" while connecting to the remote computer using terminal services. Could you someone help me how to get the printers carry forward from citrix server to the remote computer. Many Thanks, Kishore

only one way i can think of...and it's not really carrying over...it's bypassing....setup an http printer

Share the printer in your printer folder.
Allow the internet user account with full permission so you can delete accidental print jobs.

Load IIS on your computer..and add a webserver on your local machine that only excepts connections from the IP of the remote computers network or domain name for security. Go to the properties of virtual directory "printers" and allow anonymous access.

On the remote computer, add a new printer by URL: "http:/199.76.xx.x/printers/ {printername} /.printer"
It will now prompt for the drivers, so locate and install.

Now when you connect to the remote computer you already have a local prnter back to your original machine. You can also put that printer on the citrix server.

`The above is not ideal if your ip is dynamic. It is however, the fastest way to print from citrix metaframe, and it can handle a large scale networks printing with ease.
