Windows XP RDP Protocol Error

0

I am trying to RDP into a windows xp pro sp3 machine (from windows 7). The connection is succesfull but after a random amount of time ( usually between 1 and 3 minutes) the session gets disconnected with the following message:

Protocol Error. Session will be disconnected.

I have no idea what is causing this protocol error and apparently it's a very rare error since I couldn't find any useful info on google. After the session gets disconnected I take a look at the logs and (every time) under system tab I find 4 new error entries

Event 1111 : Driver required for printer ______ is unknown. Contact the administrator to install the driver before you log in again.

Could these two things be related?

What do you think is causing this protocol error?

Other (possibly) useful info:

  • Team viewer is installed on the xp machine (conflict?)
  • Rdp port is default 3389

EDIT Disabling printer sharing is not solving the issue.

Go to the options on the RDP client and disable printer and drive sharing. This is most likely an EasyPrint driver issue

Sounds very logical! Dodn't think of that. Will try and let you know. Thank you so much! – Aaron Ullal – 2015-03-08T04:45:45.487

Sadly that is not resolving the issue – Aaron Ullal – 2015-03-08T20:26:23.193
