Terminal server, Redirected folders and PDF Creator problems

Today i have installed the programs PDF Creator on a Terminal servers, Windows 2008 R2. But it will only run under the administrators account.

Some search for errors lead me to that it could be that PDF Creator creates is temp files under <temp>\PDFCreator, but my user have redirected folders, so it was under a network shares. It seams that PDFCreator have some troubles with this, so I change the temp location in the registry database, and its now working for my users.

You need to change:

KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PDFCreator\Program\PrinterTemppath
“PrinterTemppath”=”<temp>PDFCreator\”

Changed the value to “C:\PDFCreator\”

Change also:
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\PDFCreator\Program\
“PrinterTemppath”=”<temp>PDFCreator\

Changed the value to “C:\PDFCreator\”

Then create a folder on c:\ with the name of PDFCreator, and set security so that all yours terminal servers users have modify access to this folders.

Windows Terminal Server and printing.

I recommend Thinprint to all Microsoft Windows Terminal Servers users.
This be curs it very simple and at the same time one of the best printing tools for terminal server i have seen.

In the 2 years we have been running Thinprint on our Terminal Server, we never have a outage that we can blame Thinprint for.

When you have install Thinprint, it is a best to disable windows printing on the Terminal server, this can be done in Terminal Services Configuration

In the Terminal Server it’s done this way:
Go into Terminal Services Configuration (Start -> Administrative Tools -> Terminal Services Configuration).
Click on connections.
Right click on RDP-TCP and chose properties.
Click the tab “Client settings”, and click on disable Windows printer mapping.

Now you have disabled the Windows Printing, and only Thinprint is now working.

Terminal server og Thinprint

Har i nogen sinde oplevet problemet med at personer som skal på terminal server, gerne vil have deres printer med?
Hvis ja, så har i sikkert også oplevet problemet med at for printer driver og alt det andet til at fungere.

Vi har nu i en rum haft flere kunder som har benyttet Thinprint. Til terminal server, skal du benytte Thinprint Application server. Så selvom brugeren har 10 printer tilsluttet lokalt, ja så kommer alle 10 printer også med over på terminal serveren uden nogen former for at man skal installere printer driver og andet.
