Printers compatable with Terminal Servers

Hi there,

Currently we have a 15 terminal server setup running Windows 2008 R2 without to many printer problems shall we say.  Now the company is going to be allowing users to work more from home and they are going to be supplying them with a Multifunctional printer that can handle A4 printing and in Colour.  Does anyone have any Multifunction printers either Inkjet or Laser that you have working in a Windows Terminal Server 2008 R2 setup?

If you do can you let me know the make and model that would be most welcome :)

Hi.

You should not have to worry a second. Starting with server 2008, windows supports "easy print" which redirects printers to the server without the need for a driver.

We have had many problems with Easy print to the point that we use the correct drivers all the time.
Ok, there might be exceptions that have problems, but so far on my terminal servers there were no problems. We use a variety of HP devices and some brother MFC devices. There should be no limitrations as to what printers work on a TS, if there's a driver for the server OS, they will work.
