Easy Print: Redirected printer but not printing

[ocifferdave]

I have a workstation with windows xp servicepack 3 and .net 3.5. In the
remote session all my redirected printers show up but when I try to print out
of them, no page comes out of the printer with no error as well. However, the
redirected printer HAD been working fine via TS a month ago. I don't know
why it wont work now. I tried another computer (at home) with the same specs
above and my redirected home printer wont print. Further exploration...no PC
running RDC connecting to our Win Server 2008 via TS will successfully print
via redirected printer. Yet...the Macintosh's RDC 2.0 will print via TS
redirected printer every time still to through this same server. I've
upgraded to Win Serv '08 RC2. No help. Ran every update possible on the
clients. No help. Checked the Group Policy, Easy Print is engaged and
clients have no boxes checked for disabling printers, audio, etc.

I'm going to try disabling Easy Print, install the client printer driver on
the server, and see how that goes. I tried with Easy Print ENABLED to do the
above, but no help.

I've spent days reading forums. I've seen only a few others with this exact
problem but never was there offered a solution.

EDIT: I found the solution. I disabled in the Group Policy "Use Terminal
Services Easy Print printer driver first" under
"Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal
Server\Printer Redirection". Now below problem is solved for ALL the client
PCs trying to print to their local printer via TS.
