Remote Desktop printer settings

Re: Remote Desktop printer settings

It may have to do with the way Remote Desktop accesses print devices at the host. Do the remote computers have the driver with the default settings installed?

Of course not.

As I understand it (and I could be wrong), the redirected driver most likely is using very basic Microsoft POS print driver.

Sounds like it is not using the installed driver but instead only grabbing the default driver with no options set. It may be because other than preferences the four drivers are not unique.

Not overly familiar with Kyocera drivers and software but maybe you can use their Driver Distributor software to create four unique drivers.

As suggested, sounds like you have the generic Windows drivers setup when WSD kicks in. Look at the port, is it an IP address or does it start with WSD?

If the driver does not see options, the driver will need to be configured. This varies from manufacturer, but it is always in the printer properties section; some call it auto update or configure.
Once all options are seen and you have the proper drivers, have them setup presets in the driver. They can then choose all the settings with one drop down menu item.

We installed the KX driver using IP. Turns out their IT is using UPD (user profile data(?)) and had to for each user install on the server(?) exactly what we installed on the local PC then update the user policy. I’m not even sure what I just wrote. I just hope someone out there understands it.
The users wound up having an additional new 4 drivers and have to remember to use the new ones as they “redirected” ones can’t be deleted (?)

I think that should be UDP, User Datagram Protocol. Both TCP and UDP are major protocols within the internet protocol suite. Here are a couple of websites where you can learn a little bit about them.

Configuring user policies in Active Directory made sure that each PC got the correct driver.
