Answered Print document from terminal server to local computer on different domain

    Hi,

    I have a Demo VPC sitting on our internal domain server(server1.contoso.com). some users from different domain (customer.com) need to access the VPC and print document to their local printer. 

    I tried to share the local computer, add printer via the TS port, install printer driver, check Share Printer option but still no luck.

    Does anyone know how to achieve this? Thanks in advance!

    Hi,

    1. What operating system version is your terminal server running?

    2. What operating system version is running on the client PC that is trying to connect to your terminal server?

    3. What is the exact make/model of printer that is attached to the client PC.

    Hi,

    1. On your server, please make sure you have RD Session Host Role Service installed.

    2. After completing #1 above, please connect from the Windows 7 PC and see if the local printer is auto-created in the Remote Desktop session.  If it is auto-created, please test by printing a document.

    Thanks.

    It has been installed otherwise users cannot connect to the terminal server.

    the Local printer is auto-created. Even I added it manually, still the same issue.

    Hi,

    Users may connect to the server via Remote Desktop even without RDSH Role Service installed.

    1. What print driver is being used by the auto-created printer?  Remote Desktop Easy Print?

    2. What happens when you attempt to print to the redirected printer?  Does anything happen, any error messages?  Please check in the following log for errors/warnings:

    Event Viewer\Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\PrintService\Admin

    3. Is your server also a domain controller?

    Hi,

    Got the access denied error. I did modified the permission but not sure why it had been changed back.

    Now have to change the owner to local administrator and print the test page again...

    Hi,

    Below is the command to run from an administrator command prompt if your server is a DC and you are getting an access denied error:

    icacls c:\windows\system32\spool\printers /grant Users:(OI)(CI)M

    Restart the server after the above command, then test to see if the issue is resolved.

    Thanks.

    it is user permission issue. the icacls command doesn't help.

    I have found a solution to it.
