Greetings all, I am seeing some inconsistent behavior with printer redirects using uttsc. Any input would be greatly appreciated. My configuration is as follows:
latest SRSS/SRWC on RHEL5.4 with 5 network attached printers installed and working. The SRSS is in kiosk mode enabled for card users only. 13 SR3 DTUs Win 2008R2 Terminal Server, at remote location, with proper print drivers installed and working. The WTS is only serving one application. No desktop. Windows laptops, both XP and Win7 When a user inserts their card into a DTU, it does an automatic redirect to the WTS using uttsc. I pass the printers on the uttsc arguments line. Printers do redirect and populate the printer dialogue box on the Windows session most of the time. And if they show up, I can print. So in the print dialogue I see "laser (redirect 5)" and "lexmark (redirect 5)" as I would expect. If that same user pulls their card and goes straight to another DTU and inserts their card, they must retype their Win credentials and the app pops up still running and usable. But if I pull up the printer dialogue box, sometimes the printers pop in slowly, with the correct "redirect number" (redirect 5 in the above example), but sometimes the printers do not move to the new DTU. The printer dialogue box is empty. If I go back to the original DTU, the printers are usually there and work. If the printers do not show up on the move, waiting does not solve the problem. If I jump around to enough DTUs, sometimes one of the printers may pop in to a previous DTU that had none. Next scenario: When I pull that same session to a laptop, sometimes the printers show up with the same "redirect 5" but sometimes they get a new number from the WTS. Then there may be multiple "redirect numbers" in the print dialogue box on the laptop. If I pull back to a DTU, then sometimes I see multiple "redirect numbers" or sometimes things pop in slowly. I know this is all very confusing. The vendor of the WTS app we are using normally puts a piece of software on the WTS made by Elusiva and then a piece on the Win clients that makes printing work Win-2-Win every time. Problem is, when its on the WTS, it prevents uttsc from seeing the printers at all. And they don't make a Linux client for printing. Any wisdom on this would be greatly appreciated! /paul whitener Wake Forest University
