Printer Problem on Terminal Server 2000

by working it . Updated 20 years, 8 months ago

I am using Windows 2000 Termina Server. I understand that there will be a problem if Terminal Client connecting to the Server have one of the newest printer attached to the client PC. The printer may not be redirected. I did some research on the Mircosoft.com and found the Terminal Server Printer Driver Redirection Wizard which allow me to add printer driver to the Server remotely.

It is working fine for most of the printer. However, I still having problem with HP All-In-One printer (HP OfficeJet 4215). HP Supports said All-In-One printer doesn’t support Windows Servers. I tried their recommended alternated printer driver (HP DeskJet 550C). But it sill doesn’t work.

I searched my client’s PC for the printer driver files. They are located at C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\hpofficejet_4200_ser2524. Do you think it will work if I copy the whole folder into my Terminal Server on the same location? Will the Terminal Server recongize the HP 4215 printer? Otherwise, do you have any other suggestion beside upgrading to Windows 2003 Terminal Server?

Thank you
