redirect printer

[Voldemarius]

Hi! I have a printer laserjet m130a, which connected to usb port on my PC with OS Windows7 x32 - and everything good when i print from pc. But when i connect to remote desktop on- OS Windows 2012r2 printer not print. I installed same driver which installed on my PC, checked other printer drivers on server too (like Windows 8.1, 10). Printer seems redirected on server, but don't print from server.

Anybody know, is this printer m130a support redirect printing or no???

Most times when a printer is connected by usb and you want to share on other operating systems you have to trick the computers. Basically you load the printer like it is connected to lpt1 port and do not use autodetect or attempt to print a test page. When the printer is loaded you go to the properties of the printer and then go to port and then add port and in the box that comes up you put the computer and portname for the share you established on the computer to which the printer is connected. You use the syntax \\computername\sharename where the computer name is the name of the computer to which the printer is attached and the sharename is the sharename you gave the printer when you loaded it on the computer. Good Luck.

I would add that such a limited PCLmS printer will be much more limited with RDP redirection, terminal or Citrix envoirnment and would not be supported on a such...

Although the M130 is absent from this document it is not supported and share same limitations as the listed HP LaserJet Pro MFP M125, M126, M127, M128... both models share the same printing language specifications and limitations:
