RDS printing best practices

-

hello everybody,

we have rds farm of 10+ hosts being used several locations in north america. each location has own printers of course on site need use. printers wide variety of ricoh, hp , several label printer models. 

at moment use following approach provide printing our rds environment:

-each location has own virtual print server located in same data-center as rds farm site location local printers installed on them

-printer drivers on place, outdated, using universal drivers, manufacturers drivers

-printers mapped at log on trough group policy, not logon script

we see issues on our rds farm, there following:

-hung logons, meaning users see message "loading group policy printers..." , never finish

-spoolsv.exe growing exponentially (seen 32gb) memory use

-server crash

-print spooler crashes

my question if there best practices on following:

-what type of print server use (only one, 1 per location, virtual, physical, print cluster)

-what print drivers (universal, manufacturer, matter how old drivers, 64bit or 32bit)

-client side rendering (yes/no)

-print driver isolation (yes/no)

-what easy print? tried made printing slooooow us.

-prevent users mapping other printers in rds session? how?

i don't expect answer questions therefore happy suggestions and/or experiences similar szenarios. if has or knows microsoft rds best practices documentation appreciated.

thanks in advance!

hi,

one local phyical printer server on each site better.for drivers,contact printer manufacturer suggestions.install more situable driver after testing.if easy printer doesn't support well,you mapping printers rds session local print server via gpo.to prevent users mapping other printers in rds session,you can restrict user install drivers via gpo.

hope helps.
