Two questions, here:
I have a remote user with an HP P3015 printer. They use RDS to access Win Server 2012.
Easyprint is absolute garbage and causes huge printing delays, so I would like to simply use the proper driver. This has worked well for other users, but for this particular printer, less so. There is an included driver called HP LaserJet P3011/P3015 PCL6 Class Driver which sounds like it should be the correct driver. On the user's side, however, it's just called "HP LaserJet P3011/P3015 PCL6" - I'm assuming (from my past experience with server 2003) this name discrepancy is what's preventing it from actually detecting and using this driver, and instead defaulting to easyprint.
In the past I would just use the NTPrintSubs.inf file to map "HP LaserJet P3011/P3015 PCL6" = "HP LaserJet P3011/P3015 PCL6 Class Driver" but that seems like a pretty archaic way to go about it - there has to be a better way, right? I considered simply downloading and installing the driver from HP, however the only driver options they present for that particular printer are universal print drivers, which I'm assuming were so named because they universally do not work worth a damn.
Second question: When I go into the print manager, the only printers I see are from my own RDS session. This can't possibly be correct, right? How do I get my user's redirected printers to show?
