Terminal Server 4.0 - Print problem

Hi all,
I have a Terminal Server 4.0 System with a permissions, or some sort of problem that won't let me print from within a Terminal Client to a particular Laset printer.

Even after re-installing in the drivers etc, ensuring full control access to users, the test print page brings up this error "The test page failed to print .... %1 is not a valid WINDOWS NT Application"

I have read an MS Article on "Application Security, but this is disabled at the moment."

I can print to this printer locally from the server, as Admin, or user but not as Admin or any other user on Terminal Client.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Gavin

Try to use the hp4 driver. There are drivers that aren't compatible with terminal server and they can give you all sorts of problems/issues. If it doesn't work put a comment with the printer model, so I can look it up.
Do you have the citrix metaframe add-on ?

Did you install the software that came with the hp (jetadmin or whatever) also ? That could be the problem too. When installing it on workstations that software gave me problems.

I've decided to go to W2K server and use the inbuilt Terminal Services. I've tested this printer on this and it appears to work OK. Although I have been having problems with the D-Link 101 pocket print server. Which may have been the problemall along.

The printer is a Sharp AR-285 (Copier/Printer), I have downloaded the latest drivers for it,(but that didn't work) do you think generic HP Drivers will be OK ?

I am using PCL5e for NT Drivers, there are also PCL 6 drivers, but this didn't seem towork with the printer from the server, plus a few others for this model.

A DLINK Printer server is being used, and all machines can print to it from 95 - 98, but not in a terminal client.

I have tried another Print server, including a Jetadmin, but no luck...!

There are other printers, Epson Dot matrix that aren't a problem, and tried setting up a Epson 900 Colourjet with no probs.

Just seems to be this Sharp ?

Have had nothing to do with Citrix metaframe, so unsure...?
Not at the server at the moment.

Thanks,

Gavin
