ThinPrint and RDP on Windows Server 2008

ThinPrint and RDP on Windows Server 200818 Feb

Working with printers via RDP or Citrix is not always easy. ThinPrint has saved us a lot of headaches over the years. Today, I had one installation that was different than ones I have worked on in the past. It was ThinPrint Application Engine on a Windows 2008 Server. No matter what I did, the local printers wouldn’t show up on my RDP session. Turns out you must have the RDP connection on the Terminal Server named RDP-TCP. If you change it… you will break it.

Happy Printing.
