I have two clients using Windows 7 on laptops. They use Canon printers such
as the iP100 and iP1900. Canon say they do not support TS in their drivers.
The server runs SBS2003, they connect with either RDP or RWW. All other
laptop clients use XP Pro SP3 and can run the printers remotely without
problems so the Canon drivers do work over TS. W7 does connect OK but only
has this problem. Is there a way to get printers to work from a W7 client
over TS to SBS2003? I know of one W7 client using a HP printer to a SBS2003
server if that helps.

One user found he could not connect client hard drives either but XP clients
can. Is there a solution to this as well?

I appreciate all help.

Hi,

Please refer this link below for any printer redirection questions you might
have.

Regarding your second question- Make sure that the mstsc client ( Remote
Desktop Connection Client UI) has
Local Resources Tab->More button in "Local Devices and Resources" dialog,
"Drives" checkbox and all those drives you want in there like "C:\", "D:\"
are checked.

Thanks
Divya

Thanks I will look up that printer link later today.

The drive issues are in RDP and RWW and yes the the suitable points were
there and were ticked. It only fails in the Win7 clients to SBS2k3/WS2k3 (a
Server on sbs2k3 and Terminal Service Server on Win Server 2k3). Logging in
with RDP goes to the main Server, loging in with RWW goes to the TS box. With
XP clients all is well, with Win7 clients hard drive connections fail and so
do printers.

Any other thoughts?
cheers
Barry

I have now looked at that blog and it isn't applicable at all! It only
dicusses WS2k8 - not 2k3. As one reply to the blog puts it -
"Incredible, the only articles about printing in the Terminal Services Team
blog talk only about Easy print witch doesn't work in TS 2003....greath job
guys" M Angel 28 Jan 2010.

I tend to agree.

I need articles/solutions on W7 clients to SBS2003/WS2003 for both RDP and
RWW. The reality that MS is ignoring is that W7 is all that is available on
laptops now - BUT, and I do mean BUT, customers are not going to spend
thousands to change the server OS just to suit MS's poorly thought out
marketing plans. They will stick with what is working. Not all customers are
Technocrats who want the latest widgets every time one comes out. That is the
reality of the market place. I need solutions from MS that fit that reality
not MS's wish list.

So now I have vented my frustration does any one at MS or elsewhere have a
solution?

Please???
