I'm trying to set up "location based printing" for VMware View with a windows 2008 printserver.
After 3 Days of reading manuals, rebooting, installing .print engine and a lot of hairpulling (I'm almost bald now) there's no printer connected to my printserver, that would automaticly install on my view clients.
Setting up a Printserver with the driver for x64 Systems installed and the printer connected to it.
loading the *.dll (dont know the actual name now) for the "autoconnect map additional printers [...]"
configuring the translation table.
My Printer on "srvconnect" is named "1".
The drivers for the Printer are loaded.
When I manually conenct my Win7 Client to the shared Printer it loads the driver from the Printserver and just works fine!
