Officejet 6110xi drivers for Windows 2003 for RDP?

Hi all,

HP's site has no drivers for the Officejet 6110xi for Windows Server 2003 so my client, with a Windows Vista desktop, cannot print to his local printer (the 6110xi) via his RDP session. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave

You could try HP's universal printer driver:

No guarantee that is going to work, but it is worth a try.

Other than that, you may want to look for a replacement printer, one that has W2K3 drivers available.

Have you tried installing just the Basic Feature software/driver from HP's site? usually when promptedto connect the printer, you can click the box at the bottom, "I will connect it later" or something similar....

All in ones are horrible for RDP though.....

Dont forget about this for USB printers in RDP.....

Yeah john, I knew about the all-in-ones, already tried the basic driver and also knew about the port redirection for USB/etc. printers. This client is quite a pain and likes to toss printers around everywhere without asking (or ignoring) advice from their IT guys. Oh well. Thanks for the help everyone.
