“Windows presentation foundation terminal server print w” error
On Windows Server 2008 Standard Terminal Services (or as they call it -Remote Desktop Services)(both x32 & x64) some major error that caused printing problems:
“Windows presentation foundation terminal server print w”
Windows pop-up on WinXP clients, on Vista\Win7 no error at all, just – not printing. Well? What to do?
1.there is KB from MS: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2021394
Checked – Not helped.
2. there are workarounds with replacing TsWpfWrp.exe on clients with server version
Checked – Not helped.
3. then – forums recommend reinstall server
Almost done, but not
So, solution that worked for my few servers, was partially mentioned by Jeff Pitsch in his post about EasyPrint. So, as in all previous versions of Windows – just to reinstall EasyPrint driver.. Yeah?
Guess what – no Printer Drivers console by defaults (Server Properties in older versions ) so from where to delete? Aha!
Server Manager – Add Roles – Printer … Role – Next – Ok.
Now You have Printer Servers – Server Name – Drivers
Here You actually can manage installed printer drivers.
Remove EasyPrint drivers and XPS drivers. Reboot. Check that drivers reappeared in list. Check You can print successfully.
Have a great day!
