Hi Jeff,
This article might help describe the Windows printing process,
http://www.brianmadden.com/attachments/Brian%20Madden%20-%20Terminal%20Server%20Printing.pdf
I have a feeling you might need a thirdy party product like Citrix, however
you could try setting up shared printers on the client and then say use a
batch file to redirect the local port to the network queue.
eg Using MyClient and MyServer , create a printer shared on MyClient (NB
keep share name to 8 chars or less), and give permission to the Terminal
Server user.
On MyServer use a batch file to start DP, (ie instance running on
MyServer -Terminal server session)
net use lpt4 \\Myclient\MyShare
dp myStr.str
and configure DP report to print to LPT4, do not use LPT1 or LPT2, or even
LPT3, as non-Administrators cannot remap a real local port. Since most
systems do not have support for LPT4 it is reasonable safe.
You might be able to use environment variables set in log in scripts to
manage the bactch file for multiple users, eg
net use lpt4 %MyPrinter
Regards
Brian

Subject: [Dataperf] Printing on a Remote Desktop
Hello, Fellow DataPerfect Users!
We're using DataPerfect on Windows Server 2003. Almost everything works
great (especially with the Tame DOS addition I picked up here!)
Our users log on to the server via a Remote Desktop connection. As I
said,
almost everything works...
Users can do anything EXCEPT print reports from DataPerfect on their local
printer. They can print any other documents from any Windows programs
running on the remote desktop, so I know the connection to the local
printer
is good. I need a workaround to get DataPerfect to print directly to the
local LPT1 port.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
Jeff
