>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>I sometimes need to test my application printing a report from the my application installed on customer server. I connect to the customer server via VPN and then Remote Desktop. I installed doPDF (PDF printer) on the server. But when I tried to send a report to this printer (doPDF-7) I get message that printing to this printer is not allowed in Terminal Services connected via Remote Desktop. Anybody has an idea of other ways I can print to a PDF printer in Terminal Services?

>>Maybe it's a permissions issue, that your account isn't allowed to write files to the TS's disk (?)

>>Also, ISTR printer drivers on a TS need to be installed by an admin.

>>Another thing to look at is whether, during your RDP session, print jobs are being redirected back to your local computer. By default, they do get redirected. You could experiment with turning off that redirection. Any PDF printer driver you install on the TS is considered a local printer by the TS.

>I can write to the TS disk with any other application so I can't see why it would not allow me to store a PDF. Actually it does not even come to the window where you select where to save the PDF. Right away when I select doPDF I get the message that printing not allowed.

>I don't know what ISTR stand for. But I was allowed to install the doPDF.

>Actually when I am in the RDT session I can see my local printers too. I can see my doPDF right next to the new doPDF I installed on the server. But when I select my doPDF I cannot see the file. That is, on my local PC I can see a PDF pending in the queue but I cannot view it. Or I can select my other local printers but it won't print.

"I Seem To Recall"

Did you try disabling printer redirection?
