Windows server 2008 R2 RDS printer mapping

Hi all, remote desktop services, old TS, installed, printer mapping is enabled on RDS Machine, by oppening a RDP connection from a windows 7 machine, it maps all printers, but only prints in some printers.

I need some pointers on printers mapping on RDP 2008

You should see if it has the correct driver for the printer and if not install it.
Rds will try and use easy print in case of lacking drivers, but that will only get you so far...

im going to try to install them, i usually use citrix and the universal drivers and worked pretty well, looks like on windows 2008 it will be  a dif. story.
Good pointers.
Yeah also look that when you installed the drivers, they get used. Because there is a policysomewhere that puts easyptint over the driver. But im on my mobile now and cant lookit up. Check google.
