Hello All
i have a situation where i need to figure out the best way to handle the
printing of reports from my apps terminal server to the users printer. at
this point we have been using the standard terminal server printing back to
the users printers. the problem is that it seems so inconsistent.
at one point everyone could print, but we had problems with different paper
sizes and so i reformatted the reports to fit within both a4 size and letter.
the problem is that now it seems that no one can print.
i am not sure if this is an access problem, or if it is something with the
server.
i was thinking is it possible to print to PDF and then tell access to send
that to a particular folder on the users computer through access. i need to
have total security on the terminal server, so i would make it that the PDF
is transfered to a particular folder on the users C Drive. the user wouldnt
have a choice as to where so that the windows explorer save dialogs wouldnt
be available to them. it would just send the files to thier harddrive.
additionally i find that ever time a user connects, terminal server connects
to thier printer and leaves an "installation" of thier printer, so that
eventually there is multiple copies of the same printer for the same user,
sometimes as many as 20 copies. it is like the server isnt purging the
drivers after the user leaves the server.
if any one has any ideas or suggestions, please let me know.
