Mac OS 10.6 & 10.7 printing issues

[tfoy]

We are currently using the Mac OS X 2X client 10.1.1239 and Windows 2008 R2 server with 2X Application Server 10.0.1167. We are not able to get the redirector to work for the local printers. We have everything setup just like the 2X instructions states and when I go into an application and print I do not see my local printer with the (redirected #).

Yes the Windows server is setup to redirect printing to the local computers.

If I use a Windows VM from the same computer it works.

2X even has a video showing that this works but we are unable to make it work in our environment.

"To get the 2X Universal Printer to work directly on Macs, RDP redirection must be used. All you have to do is to simply enable printer redirection and select the printer from the Terminal Server, and select different printer emulations depending on your Terminal Server OS, according to the supporting specifications.

The three options presented to you by the MAC OS are the following:

Apple Laser Writer: Windows 2003

Apple Color LW12/660 PS: Windows 2003 Japanese

HP Laserjet 4350PS: 2008 / 2008 R2

Make sure you log off the session and re-connect to get the shared printer forwarded!"


this did help me the first time i had to configure printing for macs, i hope it helps.
