I have 2 offices. Office A is head office, connectivity of 10MB EFM. Office B connects to a Windows 2008 R2 terminal server located at Office A to run their apps. Office B connectivity is FTTC, 20 Mb download, 10Mb upload. Office B has 4 employee's running RDP client to Office A. They are having serious printing issues, such as 15 seconds for word as an example to bring up print preview and a further 15 seconds for it to come out. They have both USB and IP printers on their local network so are taking their printers into their RDP session with them. Both the HP photosmart (the usb one) and the IP One are the same. I know the photosmart are not designed to work within 2008 terminal servers but I would expect the other one to be fine. All drivers have been removed from the terminal server and they are using EasyPrint to handle the jobs.<br />
<br />
I have tried to drop the experience on their RDP client to all manner of connection speeds and still have the same at 56k modem setting speed. I have edited the printer settings to get the print to print direct rather than to spool...all to no avail,<br />
<br />
Is there anything else I can try and it really is unusable for printing.<br />
<br />
Many thanks.

RDP Printing Performance

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Printers and Scanners

Remote access may refer to the connection to a data-processing system from a remote location, for example through a virtual private network remote desktop software, terminal emulation, or the activation of features of a business telephone system from outside the business's premises.
