Terminal Services Printing

One of the guys encountered something fun on terminal server printing today that was unique to one particular XP Pro client that was just installed last week. The computer was based on a factory HP/Compaq build and was pretty clean with the exception of the usual preload with trial Office. We pulled that and installed our usual kit and updated it and thought it was good to go.

The user called today and said that the terminal server wasn't sending the print jobs to her local PC today. Odd, sounds more like behavior from the old Server 2003 days. We installed her print drivers, updated them, tried old ones, rebooted several times, all no good. Finally, we uninstalled .Net 3.0 & 3.5 and respective updates and reinstalled (they were include in the HP build). Upon reinstalling, all the print jobs came through!

Bizarre!
