    Remote Dekstop - Local Printer Disconnecting After A While

    Hello All

    I have an issue with local printer pulling through from the local machines to the remote desktop and then the printers

    dissapear after a while, the rdp session remains active with no errros. Including Generic Text printers.

    This happens on a the WAN / LAN and my local machine{to test}.

    There are now event error of note.

    Below are the settings are the setting on the clients and the server.

    CLIENT

    SERVER

     Regards,

    Nothing in the EvenVwr at all?  It could be that Print Spooler on the RDP Server has a corrupted Driver or is hosed.  Can you RDP into another Server from a Client that is known to have issues and see if that works?

    When you say local printer, do you mean like USB/Parrallel or do you mean local network printer.

    If its a local network printer, does it have an onboard NIC or is it through a printer server or something.

    The only thing that shows in the eventvwr is that there are drivers missing for a few client printers, this is not however the drivers for the printers that I am having issues with.

    The spooler does not stop and all the printers that I have installed on the server locally with IP port still work, only the printers that pull through from client machine disappear after a few hours. 

    These printers pull fine on other server without disappearing, but they clients must use this servers, NAT/Firewall reasons.
