Windows NT not creating IP session printer

Here is the problem(s).
When some users connect to the terminal server it will NOT redirect any IP
printers. Some users it will redirect IP printers.

The printers that are redirected, on the workstation I can give the user
manage printer under the security tab, but on the terminal server this right
will not hold.

We also use Novell NDPS printers and they are redirected but the manage
printers right will not hold.

I do have a user that all works correctly with an IP printer that is
redirected. I am at my wits end over this and ANY help is greatly
appreciated!!
 
Dumb question but you have installed the print drivers onto the terminal
server....

Jeff,

Do you actually have to install the printer? I believe not, but I did
actualy do that. The drivers are present on the server but the printers do
not get redirected. As I said below I have one user that ALL works
correctly. I have the same IP printer installed on my laptop and it is the
exact same model as hers.

If you using redirected printers then yes you do need to install the
drivers on the server. Have you checked that the client is setup to
redirect printers?

Jeff,

When you say "install the drivers on the server" what exactly does this
mean? Do I have to install the printer on the server? If that is the case I
have. What if the driver is included with windows? Do you have a KB article
you can direct me too? It is a very strange problem. Yes the client is
setup to redirect printers, in my case it will redirect NDPS printers but not
my IP priters. For some users it will redirect IP printers. Thanks for the
help I really appreciate it.

Jeff,

I GOT IT!! It was not a driver issue. it seems that the stock RDP client
that comes with XP will NOT redirect IP printers??? At least that is what I
found. I got the latest RDP client and it works fine. Thanks for all your
input.

PS Do the driver versions have to match exactly.ie if the workstation has
version 123 and the server has 456 will it work?
