Using Your Local Printers While Using a Remote Desktop Connection

Filed under: Remote Printing — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 3:17 am

These are the steps to take to show local printers when connected via Remote Desktop:

1. Click on your Remote Desktop icon on your desktop or in your Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Communications menu.

2. The following screen should appear:

3. Click on Options and the following screen should appear:

4. Select the Local Resources tab as shown below and check the Printers option.

5. Click on the General tab and the following screen should appear and you will type in your password and click Connect.

6. After connecting you should be able to go to Printers and Faxes under Control Panel and see your printers as shown below:

This should be all there is to it!

If you are still having problems I would install the printer driver for the printer on your client computer on the remote computer and change the port to something that you really don’t have on the remote computer for example: LPT2, LPT3 so that the printer never gets called but the driver is available for your remote connection. This should work or you can do the manual printer redirection as in the help article below from Windows help for Remote Desktop Connection.

Printing to your local printer from a remote session Printer redirection routes printing jobs from the terminal server or Remote Desktop computer to a printer attached to your local computer (also called the “client computer”). There are two ways to provide access to local printers: automatic and manual printer redirection. Use manual redirection when your local printer requires a driver that is not available on the version of Windows that is running on the remote computer.

Automatic Printer Redirection Printer redirection is automatic when the local printer uses a driver that is installed on the server. When you log on to a session on a terminal server, or to a computer running Windows Professional or Server and Remote Desktop, any local printers attached to LPT, COM and USB ports that are installed on the client (local) computer are automatically detected and a local queue is created on the server. The client computer printer settings for the default printer and some properties (such as printing on both sides of the page) are used by the server.

When you disconnect or end the session, the printer queue is deleted and any incomplete or pending print jobs are lost. Information about the client’s local printers and settings are saved on the client computer. On subsequent logons, the printer queue is created using the information stored on the client computer.

If a printer driver is not found on the server, an event is logged and the client printer is not created. To make the printer available, the driver must be manually installed on the server.

Manual Printer Redirection Printers attached to LPT and COM ports on the client (local) computer can be manually redirected, although manual redirection of printers connected through USB ports is not supported.

To manually redirect a client printer, contact your administrator and provide the name of your computer (or IP address for a Windows-based Terminal). The client must be connected to the remote computer during manual redirection.

After the initial manual redirection, printers will be automatically redirected during subsequent logons.

Notes

Redirected printers are available for use with applications running on the server. Redirected printers appear in the Printers and Faxes folder in Control Panel and are named in this format: Client Printer Name/Client Computer Name/Session Number. When you disconnect or log off from a session, the printer queue is deleted and incomplete or pending print jobs are lost.

Problems with Remote desktop printing?

Filed under: Remote Printing — Tags: , , , — admin @ 3:17 am

I am using an HP 1200 printer but can’t print over Remote Desktop. The place that I am remoting into does have that print driver loaded on the server but I still can’t print.
One person suggested that maybe the HP 1200 is an IP printer which doesnt work over remote desktop. I don’t really know what that means. Can anyone explain what an IP printer is, or if you have any other ideas as to why I can’t print, I would appreciate it.
Yes the printer does show up in the print manager on my remote desktop computer and it is set to default.

Remote Desktop Product Comparison

Filed under: Remote Printing — Tags: , , , — admin @ 3:23 am

Remote desktop products companies have become adept at providing state of the art communication options to enterprises of all sizes. Case in point is the use of remote control software such as those provided by RHUB Communication and Bomgar.

While not all windows xp remote desktop software are the same, the use of on-premise appliances poses a number of advantages over using standard software solutions. Some vendors are still playing catch-up when it comes to the variety of features provided by more established players.

For example, both RHUB and Bomgar enjoy a certain amount of popularity thanks to its remote pc software. However, even to the causal observer differences between various remote web desktop are evident. In fact some devices possess a number of distinct advantages over other solutions.

Overcoming Challenges

Any online collaborative platform is bound to encounter challenges. Many of these are related to security, data protection and internal protections. Naturally connection issues and collaborative support also rank highly on this list. RHUB has addressed many of these issues in the following ways:
•    Guaranteed view-only attendance even to users whose PCs have blocked the connection
•    Improved level of firewall traversal
•    Its client software can be installed even on lockdown computers

Additionally with their remote connections software up to five individuals can take part in a support session at one time. This enhances the delivery of technical support and helps to get problems resolved much more quickly.


Remote Support Appliances Compared

Any user will agree that appliance based web conferencing beats software-based solutions hands down. While RHUB no doubt offers many comprehensive collaborative features, its remote support features are also found in Bomgar’s appliance. These include:
•    Auto re-connect and auto-login after reboot
•    Chat
•    Fit to screen display
•    Firewall and proxy friendly
•    Observe only support mode
•    Always on after power cycle
•    Recording
•    File transfer
•    Instant view and remote control
•    Auto-remove remote client installation

The net support speed of Bomgar’s appliance is outdone by RHUB’s. While the Bomgar solution is compatible with Windows mobiles RHUB’s more than makes up for this in other areas. Some of these are:
•    Ability to switch to training mode during support session
•    A remote run as admin feature
•    Webcam video
•    Auto-reconnection after network reconnection
•    32-bit true color viewing
•    Remote printing

RHUB’s solution also boasts a greater number of features in the remote access and web conferene (using a support session for Bomgar) categories. Even with all this, RHUB is offered at a lower price than its competitor.
Appliance from RHUB can also be integrated with websites and other applications. Free audio conferencing is also offered plus the option of viewing employee desktops. Consumers will be hard pressed to find a solution offering as much as the RHUB TS-300 for such a minimal cost.

HP LaserJet P2055/P2055d/P2055dn/P2055x ? 35 Page Per Minute Desktop Printer

Filed under: Laserjet Printing — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 9:22 am

With a print speed of up to 35 pages per minute, the HP LaserJet P2055 series consists of four printers that are easily some of the fastest desktop units available today. With a cost effective, stripped down package, these bare bones units offer incredible raw printing power without the additional cost of luxury features found in larger units.

Coming in the form of four different model variations, the HP LaserJet P2055 helps buyers keep costs down by letting them choose which features they want, and which ones they don’t. The HP LaserJet P2055d variation includes a built in, internal automatic duplexor that allows users to print double sided output. With rising paper costs, two sided printing can be critical for reducing paper consumption by as much as half, while adding a professional feel to workloads.

The HP LaserJet P2055dn model also includes duplexing capabilities, and incorporates a network card as well, which allows Ethernet connectivity and access for an entire home or office. Finally, HP pulls out all the stops with the HP LaserJet P2055x. The unit comes at maximum hardware capacity with HP Jetdirect gigabit Ethernet networking, automatic duplexing, and an additional paper tray with 500 sheets of storage.

Standard paper handling comes in the form of a 250 sheet standard letter or legal sized paper tray, and one 50 sheet multipurpose tray which can be used for additional storage of regular media types, and special paper types such as index cards, custom letterhead, and envelopes. The optional 500 sheet tray can be purchased separately for the models which don’t include it in box for a total potential paper storage capacity of 800 sheets.

The HP LaserJet P2055′s paper output bin is locked at an acceptable 150 sheets, and is not expandable, though the printer does include a rear output door that provides a straight through paper path for thick paper types. Connectivity comes in the form of a single Hi Speed USB 2.0 port for direct connect printing, and a Jetdirect Ethernet port on the network ready models.

Though the HP LaserJet P2055 comes with a more than sufficient 128 MBs of built in memory, a single 144 pin DIMM slot is left open for expansion up to a total of 384 MBs. Unless dealing with full page imagery and other complex print types, this memory expansion is most likely not necessary, as the printer is already very well equipped. The device’s processor is also fairly impressive, clocking in at a speed of 600 MHz.

Buyers will be happy to know that quality does not have to suffer at high speeds, and the HP LaserJet P2055 series can execute a true 1200 x 1200 dot per inch resolution via HP ProRes 1200 enhancement technology. HP’s Instant On technology is also key in keeping things moving quickly, as it reduces warm up time to virtually zero and makes an 8 second first page out time possible. While the HP LaserJet P2055 is not as versatile as some of the printer / copy machine combos on the market today, it is a champion for speed.

Hp Laserjet 4000 ? Expandable Desktop Laser Printer

Filed under: Laserjet Printing — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 2:35 pm

With over six hardware expansion options, the HP LaserJet 4000 offers the customizability of an industrial grade copy machine in the body of a personal printer. An optional hard drive, envelope feeder, and additional paper tray are just a few of the add ons available for this versatile unit that was once the top of the line.

The HP LaserJet 4000′s 100 MHz RISC processor helps to keep its print speed running at an optimal rate, and incoming projects spooling up fast. For letter sized documents, the unit can print at a rate of up to 17 pages per minute. The device is capable of up to 8.5 x 14 inch legal sized documents as well, but print speeds will suffer slightly when printing them.

HP’s Instant On fuser allows for a warm up time of less than 15 seconds. First page out time also rests at 15 seconds when dealing with letter sized documents. On board memory consists of 4 MBs included, but if a user chooses to expand the memory via the included expansion slots, additional features become unlocked in the device, such as a time saving HP Transmit Once setting for reduced network traffic.

Some versions of the HP LaserJet 4000, such as the LaserJet 4000n and LaserJet 4000tn, come equipped with an additional 4 MB chip in one of the three available DIMM storage slots. The more a user utilizes these memory slots, the more on board storage is available for forms, fonts, and signatures, though each slot can only compensate either a 2 MB or 4 MB memory card.

With two low resolution print quality options (300 dots per inch and 600 dots per inch) users can choose speed over clarity, but via HP FastRes 1200 resolution enhancement technology, a simulated 1200 dot per inch resolution can be reached. When using the HP PCL 6 print language, the HP LaserJet 4000 can even operate at its maximum print speed in FastRes mode. HP ProRes 1200 mode is also selectable, and allows for true 1200 x 1200 dot per inch resolution to be achieved with both HP PCL 6 and PostScript.

Regardless of REt Resolution Enhancement technology, half toning can only achieve 220 levels of gray, meaning the HP LaserJet 4000 would function best printing black and white text and simple charts and graphs, as imagery would not appear at a professional level.

An optional duplexor can be purchased separately to activate a double sided printing mode that can add a professional look to workloads, as well as reduce paper usage and costs by as much as half. Other options include an HP JetDirect 600N Print Server, and a 1 Gbyte hard drive for expanded storage.

Though an additional 500 sheet paper tray is included with some variations of the HP LaserJet 4000, it is also available for separate purchase for current owners who determine that more storage is necessary due to high volume usage. Though the model and its sister units are notably dated at this point, their powerful specifications speak for themselves.
