Problem understanding remote desktop and printers

Hi,

Can someone please help me understand something. I have a Windows 2003 x64
terminal server. The clients are using a 32bit version of XP. What happens
when the user connecting has 32 printer drivers installed and they are taken
across to the terminal server? What is the terminal server doing to make
these printers work in a 64bit environment.

Also, does any driver work?

Thanks,

 

Gorge,
You should probably ask in a TS group, but:
If the printer is a redirected local printer on the XP client, then the TS
session needs to find a matching 32 bit driver in its driver store.
If the printer is a network printer in the user's TS session, then the TS
session can pull a driver down from the print server if it doesn't already
have it,
Hope that helps,
Anthony
