I would look in the Windows Event Logs at the time of logon.<br />
<br />
If there is a problem with the driver, then I would expect to see Event ID 1111 errors in the system event log. That ID 1111 error will give you the name of the driver on the client PC.<br />
<br />
If there isn't a driver with the exact same name installed on the server, that would explain why the printer isn't getting redirected. The driver names have to match exactly. &nbsp;So, &quot;HP LaserJet 4Plus&quot; isn't the same as &quot;hp laserjet 4 plus.&quot;
</div>


<div>
The client has the HP universal driver 64 bit and the Server has the same drive.<br />
I will double check to make sure
</div>


<div>
You would be much better off using something besides the HP Universal driver. I would have to assume that it is a old printer and does not have drivers for the newer OS's? HP should be able to tell you what printer it is compatible with. Like a 4100 or something. If it is a Monochrome LaserJet try setting it up as a LaserJet 4100.<br />
<br />
What is the model of the printer?
</div>


<div>
change the printer driver of the printer in question on client box to &quot;generic text only&quot; and see if it is getting redirected or not. If it is then probably it is a driver issue
</div>


<div>
So it was a difference on the driver. I apologize that I did not see that.<br />
On the Client it was the real driver for the printer and on the server it was the universal driver.<br />
I was under the impression that both was universal.<br />
After I install the universal on the client side it all work fine.<br />
Thank you for your help

Hi<br />
I have a Windows server 2012 r2 and I assign even give domain right to two users to test a software before I release the server to production. They need prinitng but the server is located at a diferent location than the user. So I was hopping that they can use printer redirection but for some reason their printer does not show. They are running windows 7.<br />
The printer is selected under rdp and the driver is installed.<br />
I did test from my PC that run Windows 10 and has a HP printer like they do and the printer show fine.<br />
On theirs I can see the port of the printer but not the printer. I did install manually the printer on the server and chose the port that is redirect it from their pc that has the same name as the one that the printer is on but still nothing print.<br />
Any idea why

Printer redirect does not work from win7 to windows 2012 rdp

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

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.
