Driver Installations on the SAR Cloud
Cloud Tip - to determine whether a printer driver
has been successfully installed (even when the new printer is not displayed):
Windows... Start... Control Panel... Printers... Server Properties... Drivers - will display a list of installed printer drivers.
 |
|
SAR Cloud: Installed Printer Drivers |
Server Properties... Ports - will display a list including TS
(Terminal Services) ports (e.g. TS029) allocated to the installed and redirected
to local printer, drivers.
 |
|
SAR Cloud: Available TS (Terminal Services) Printer Ports |
If the printer driver has been installed then
allocating an unused TS (Terminal Services) port (e.g.
TS009 PRN30) to the driver should make the printer appear, ready for
redirected, local printing.
