Re: [Thinstation-general] rdp usb printer redirection

[Edward <edw...@gm...>]

Last i heard there wasn't a solution.

I'm in the same boat.  Something is preventing Rdesktop from working
properly in this exact instance.

For my example i use a config directive almost exact to yours.
I have gotten it to work partially.  What would happen is When Rdesktop did
forward the printer a driver was chosen as hp8500ps. Why it would choose
this drive i don't know.
If i try the same directive for rdesktop from my Gentoo, Mandrake, Centos
boxes it works just fine. ( however i do understand there are ALOT of
difference between a full distro and Thinstation).

When it did work i didn't specify a driver and the 8500 driver auto select
was the defaulted choice. When i do specify the driver in the config line
Rdesktop either fails to start or crashes when printing.

Currently this is my biggest pet peeve with Thinstation. However Rather jus=
t
sitting and and ranting I would be glad to work with anyone to test and fin=
d
a solution to this issue.

Thanks
Edward
