Remote Office to a local printer

How can I connect my local printer to my desktop remotely

You must configure a network (a peer-to-peer will do very well, or you can use the Internet) and then once that remote desktop can see the printer and your local computer, you can then simply add a printer on your desk (or simply use the printer on the remote desktop) and you're all set.  The trick is to set up remote desktop connection.

Here's an article that explains printing through Remote Desktop: http://www.windowsreference.com/windows-vista/how-to-work-via-remote-desktop-connection-in-vista/.

Here's how to turn on remote Vista desktop: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/turn-on-remote-desktop-in-windows-vista/.  It applies to the computer to be remotely accessible by the Office.

  • Win 7 remote desktop and Local printing does not

    I cannot using the network printer locally when I use remote desktop to connect to a Vista computer.  Tab resources for RD, I checked the printers.  The only thing I can understand is that my local network printer, not directly connected to my machine.  Whenever I try to print over my remote desktop session, I can not access my local network printer.

    I installed the printer drivers on the remote computer and when I try to locate the printer, I get the following error message: "Windows cannot connect to the printer.  Print Server Spooler service is not running... "but the spooler service IS running Board.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  I spent a few hours on this one and am at a loss at this point.

    UPDATE: I tried to connect my printer to the local USB port this morning.  Still would not work.  I get the same error of queue.  The drivers are not corrupt, as others have indicated may be the cause.  They work very well on my system locally with 7.

    I also found a post elsewhere that he issue 'sharing permissions' and 'network permissons' setting to resovle the spooler error.  Still no go.

    Help, please.  I really need to print locally.

    I finally have figued try after four days and many hours on the phone with Microsoft.  Microsoft said it was related to my router settings, but I didn't believe it because the remote computer has seen my iPhone very well when it was connected locally.  After just playing, here is what I found... it was pretty basic!

    On the remote system, when you try to add a 'local' printer, it has a drop-down list with a list of local ports who sees your system remotely.  Some of those who will be on the remote system, but others will be on your local system.  Take note of those that are visible on your local system.  In my case, LPT1 was not visible, but was COM3.

    Then, on your local system, in the settings of your printer works (printer, Ports tab properties), there is a checkbox indicating "Enable Printer Pooling."  When you check this box, you can select multiple ports on your local computer.  Here, you must check the box that shows your remote system (in my case, this is COM3), but make sure your exisitng port is checked as well as (in my case, an IP port for my wireless router).  Basically what you do is on your local system, you are pooling your installation existing printer with a port that can be seen by your system remotely.

    Then, on the remote system, install the printer drivers, but do not select a port.  Then go to printers and add a printer.  Select 'local' facility for whom and when asked for the port, use the port that you checked in the previous step on your local system (in my case, I chose COM3 on my local system).  Select your printer from the list.  It will ask you if you want to use the existing drivers... say Yes.  Print a test page to make sure it works.  Worked fine for me.

    I can simply not believe how obvsious this solution has been!  If the remote system is unable to see the port that you are using currently, pool your configuration with a port that he can see!

  • LaserJet 400 M401n local printer problem

    I work for a company with remote office environment.

    We have just recently swtched to a new model of small laser printer for the use of the local printer, and I have problems with the first we set up. The LaserJet M401n first was the installation of one of our field technicians program. They connected the device via USB for users HP Elitebook 2540p on docking station and installed the printer using the software from the cd provided and it worked fine.

    End user required to move the printer away from the office, so the USB and power supply were disconnected from the printer and it has been moved and reconnected. After that, the computer showed that the printer is offline. Option of printing of the disabled user, but every time jobs have been sent to the queue, offline they errored quickly.

    I worked with the user remotely and deleted the printer in printers and faxes and print driver from the options in the server properties in this window. I had the user re - connect the printer, but it was not to recognize that something has been connected.

    I went into Device Manager, but I don't see any options to print USB media or DOT4 print media (which is usually the virtual USB port.) There were several devices named "USB Composite Device" and a device called a "USB Mass Storage Device". There are no data storage devices or memory cards connected to the laptop. After removing everyone from the Device Manager, I had the user he disconnect/reconnect the USB from the printer. At this point, the printer has been recognized as connected and adding hardware wizad came. At the same time, a HP Installer utility began. I checked in my computer and there is a removable storage device that provided this installer. It seems that this printer can be a memory chip that contains the software and drivers required.

    I used the HP Installer and installed all the software and drivers, and the printer started working again.

    A week or two later, the user has contacted me and the Office has had some changes made, then the printer must have been dissconnected and resumed contact with a long USB cable. The same problem resurfaced. The printer is connected and even shows like ready. Jobs fail when submitted, and reconnect the cables or rebooting doesn't fix it.

    At this point, I wiped out all the HP report printer software and drivers, removed something that looke HP printer partner since the Device Manager, unplugged the printer and restarted the computer. I connected the printer after the restart and inserted the CD that came with the printer. I used Device Manager to install the printer driver and the print media files on the CD USB (I had to close the HP Installation Wizard about 10 times more it kept popping up). At this stage that the printer has been installed and operational, but when logged in with admin account, the printer should always be prompted for the HP installation software that seems to be running from a USB device stored inside the printer. Which is not "very important, but when I looked at the same way of dissconnected and reconnect the USB cable from the docking station, the printer has stopped printing again.

    The laptop is a HP 2540p with a docking station. He seems to have the same problems when we use one of the USB ports on the docking station or the laptop itself.

    In our company, we run a range of McAfee as VSE, MEE, MEE/PBA, DLP products.

    I will try to upgrade the firmware of the printer and the laptop BIOS. I also asked for one of this model of printers be ordered for our test lab see if we can reproduce the problem on other machines

    Ideas or recommendations would be appreciated.

    bigbankitguy,

    You mentioned that the printer is connected via USB, is that still OK? I want to try the following:

    1. disable Smart Install via the control panel. (Small icon tool and equipment) Configuration menu > Services > scroll Smart Install > DESACT

    Restart your computer and see if that solves your problem. If you continue to have problems, try the following:

    2. go into your task manager > Services tab > click on the button in the lower right of Services > locate HP DS Service > set to automatic; If stopped and then start the service.

    Restart the computer.

  • Implementation of remote offices, VMware ESXi

    Hi people, I hate you bug with what he could have been asnwered before, but I couldn't find an asnwer very clear here. Any help/advice is much apprecaited. So, here's the deal:

    We plan blown full virtualization (Server + VDI) to our datacenter and 3 remote sites. Data Center (HQ) and 1 remote office are located in Europe, 1 in North America and 1 Office in Hong Kong. All remote sites are with about 5 to 10 local non computer users. HQ has about 90 users and staff. Clearly, we want to put everything in place so that it can be managed on the Wan. We will make IPsec VPN site-to-site with each remote site through Cisco ASA and ISR routers/appliences.

    In HQ, we implement the Server Blade HP (chasis c7000) of several ProLiant G7 and EMC Clariion CX4 storage.

    For remote offices, we plan to have a local server (2 CPUs) and local storage. Internet connections are good DSL, but nothing complicated. On the road, we could look at MPLS in the light of the video and voice conference, but for now it's off the table. Because we want to deploy VDI in remote offices, we want to have clones the on local servers so that they are independent of WAN. We run a file sharin, DC, print server in terms of orders OS Server mainly.

    1. How is back-up to be managed from remote desktop to virtual offices at Headquarters? You can just save changes/deltas or is it always?

    2. what type of products VMware, we need in remote offices? VSphere Standard would do for everything what we need (remote management, backup remote VM etc.)?

    3. is it possible to have remote users forwarded to use their VD through the WAN of local server failure? Software that manages this part?

    4 any other recomendatiosn or best tips in our case here?

    Thanks again for any advice you have as we are very pleased to start this, but sure looks like a lot of work... and a few uncertainties.

    Jim

    Hello

    1. How do you distribute patches and OS updates to the remote VDs via WAN?

    You can use AUVS to install packages in the comments. In this way, everything is done on the spot.

    2. with a ThinApp structure in a VDI infrastructure how do you deliver applications, their patches to remote desktop (stream or MSI or?)? You have to have ThinApp servers etc. at the remote office or what is really the best way to handle this?

    ThinApp is a bit different and has their servers for the deployment of ThinApps. I think you should transfer as you ThinApps the patch... You can ask this question in the forums ThinApp.

    3. does anyone know a really good guide to set up an "office in a box" and it deployment?

    I have unfortunately seen documents for internal use. However, ones I've seen are usually at least 1 usually 2 boxes 2U with necessary storage locally or on a NAS with at least Gigabit switch. Usually, I suggest at least 2 boxes depending on the load. Ideally something easy to carry and move... If there was a 2 or 4 blade blade chassis, which would be the ideal...

    All licenses is managed at the Headquarters Office "in a box" being shipped to the remote desktop that is almost ready to go. A few tweaks remote and viola, you have the office. Don't forget to leave you an administrative VM on a VPN tunnel to your desktop to the remote location.

    Worst case scenario involves some generic desktop computers at HQ for all applications that do not need local data.

    4. licenses for virtual desktops (VMware View) must be purchased by the local office, or by given headquarters he is managed by vCenter HQ and the fact that it is on another continent?

    It's really up to you. But if it was me I would centralize management and "Chargeback" with the Agency.

  • Unable to print an e-mail with the error message: "local print spooler is not running.

    Original title: whenever I have try printing an E mail I get message that "local print spooler is not running."  Someone at - it a simple way to fix this problem?

    I tried to add a printer change ink cartridges and I still can't seem to work.  I received a message "local printer spooler service is not running, BUT I have no idea what is the printer spooler?  NEED HELP!

    Hi Larry,

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will certainly help the question of fixing.

    To help you suggest several steps to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

     

    1. What is the brand and model of the printer?

    2. did you of recent changes made to your computer before the show?

    3. is specific to printing an E-mail question?

    The print spooler is a system of 32 services in the Microsoft Windows operating system. He is responsible for the management of jobs that have been sent to the printer or print from a network server. With the print spooler, the user can achieve a greater control over the print queue because the print spooler service allows the user to dispose of print jobs pending or to set priorities for projects.

    Most of the time, the print spooler service works very well. Unfortunately, the opportunities will arise when the print spooler fails and you receive the dreaded error print spooler and print becomes impossible.

    Please follow the methods and mark the question below:

    Method 1:

     

    Step 1:

     

    Run the Microsoft Fix It from the link below.

    Diagnose and automatically fix problems printing and printer:

    Printer in Windows problems:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/help/printer-problems-in-Windows

     

    Method 2:

     

    You need to check if the Printer Spooler service is started from services.msc.

    a. click Start, click run, type services.msc.
    b. double-click the print spooler and verify that the status is set as Automatic or Manual.

    c. right-click on print spooler and click restart.

  • Settings in the local printer that is applied to all users

    Greetings:

    I need a little assistanace. We use Windows XP with SP3.

    On some of our machines, we have the local installed "Generic/text" only printer This printer is connected to COM1.

    Our users are domain users with roaming profiles with Folder Redirection.

    Question:

    I need to change the preferences of the generic/text only on the local computer printer printer so that the settings are applied to ANY user who connects to this PC. The settings will be the same for all users. I do not if it is a domain user or a local user that connects to a PC. What I need, is that if this PC is the only generic/text printer installed I want some printing preferences to be applied to this printer regardless of the user.

    Most of the research shows how to network printers, but nothing for a local printer. The closest I came was an article for Windows 7, but when I tried to adapt this article for my needs, it did not work.

    Any suggestions would be appreicated.

    Kind regards

  • network printer old now not recognized when plugged as local printer (USB)

    Have a printer all-in-one Canon MX330 which was connected through networks of my PC Windows XP Dell Dimension.  Now, however, I just want that he plugged on the USB local port, but when I do that XP is not pop - up dialogue "New hardware found", is not 'install' from the printer and does not add it to my list of printers.  The printer and the USB cable work fine when plugged into my Mac.

    I deleted the printer in the printer/fax list, so it does not appear there more.  And when I try to install manually (which I don't like), it will not print anything.

    Is there somewhere else I need to remove the printer? Is there a conflict with his definition of network printer? And, it is a very stupid question, but when I install manually, should I select LPT1 or USB01 as the location of the local printer?  Seems logical, it would be USB01, but it does not work (here again, or not LPT1).

    Completely uninstall and reinstall following the instructions here .

  • Server 2008 rdp client does not keep by default local printer

    Question: Windows XP workstation connects to the client terminal server 2008 for an application. The local workstation XP has a based LPT printer. The local printer is selected to be used through the RDP client and can be seen on the Terminal Server session. The central issue is that the RDP session will not keep the local printer the default XP workstation. It can be chosen and works, but never stays after the end of the session and reconnect or even log out of the session and you reconnect. It never remains the default printer, instead, it takes the default value of the server administrator. 1 of 7 other network printers.

    Points: The XP workstation has a printer LPT laserjet 4000 series as is the local default LPT. I followed a Tech Note "http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;302361" which seems to have nothing to do with this topic.

    Note: The server is standard with clients more Terminal server 2008. All the network printers according to works, and other customers to keep printers default network without problem.

    Annex Note: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winserverTS/thread/2a6944a1-d1cb-492c-b413-75dcbe7dad9b is linked. I have this strategy enabled for all other customers. I guess what would be necessary, would be a work around.

  • Connection of remote offices SPA3102

    My boss just bought two SPA3102 VoIP routers in an attempt to set up a VoIP connection to a remote office, thus avoiding expensive international calls.  I'm looking for advice on setting up.

    This is the ideal configuration, we're after.  Box, it is in the seat, and it is connected via the RTC port on a phone line (in fact the PBX).  His IP address is 192.168.32.8 (we are without using the routing of each box function, then the two boxes are connected to the network via the WAN port, with the side LAN not used at all).  Any incoming call on the telephone line must be connected directly on the phone connected to the box of two.  There is no phone connected to the box one.

    Box 2 is in remote desktop. For testing purposes, its IP address is currently 192.168.32.9.  He got a telephone connected to the telephone port, and the PSTN port is connected to a standard telephone line.  We want the phone to use the RTC line by default, but if the user dials 9 then, we wish the appeal directed to the PSTN line on box a (i.e. PBX.), where it can dial into a PBX it seeks.

    The offices are connected by a virtual private network, so there is no NAT anywhere to worry.

    I have a problem in this place, what with the instruction light manual and confusing options, so any help much appreciated!

    Here are the settings I've worked. I have omitted some.

    I have a problem on the left: calls to the phone remotely (both by the PBX and telephone line remote) are very quiet.  I played with the settings of Gain PSTN SPA to compensate, but I set the remote zone to its maximum of 12 and it is still too quiet, so I think that there is a problem elsewhere.
