So several months ago (four?) my organization moved and we upgraded all of our servers to 2012. We are a medical organization that uses terminal services aka RDS to rdp into a session based server to access our main clinical app. From this session, the users need to print out various documents from that application. For printing, we have a print server that has all of the printers installed on it. Both users that use the remote session and users who do not access the printers through the print server. The printers are deployed to each user via several GPOs so that they only get the printers that need access to. We do this mainly so people do not get confused with which printer to print to and so they do not send print jobs to our other locations (connected through a WAN.) The main trouble we are having is with users on terminal server sessions. When I right click on a printer in the control panel of someone who is in a session, there are multiple copies of the same printer that show up. It appears that our PDF application will not show these printers when this occurs.
I guess my main question is: in my organization's setup, what is the best way to set up the printers on the session server?
I was also wondering about the "Easy Print" driver? Is that something I need to enable/disable?
Lat me know of any clarifications I may need to make.
Thanks in advance.
