I have a problem getting printer redirection to work over a remote desktop connection, with one specific printer only. It is an EPSON TM-U220A, a dot matrix receipt printer which is connected via serial port. Both client and "server" are Windows 7 Professional x64.
- The printer works locally.
- Redirection of a HP Laserjet P1102 printer connected to the same client works fine.
- On the remote side, a TerminalServicesPrinters error 1111 is logged, claiming that it cannot find the required driver "EPSON TM-U220 ReceiptE4".
- On both client and server, a driver named exactly like this is installed (including the weird "E4" at the end, verified by looking a the print server properties).
I have set up quite a number of different printers for remote desktop use, in all cases the main problem was installing exactly the same printer driver on both client and server. But in this case, I triple checked and I am 100% sure that the driver name matches, architecture matches, OS matches - I have no idea what the problem is.
I could as well try redirecting the serial port instead, but I'd really like to find a solution to this one. EPSON won't help, as long as the printer is working locally it's not their problem. :-(
