How do I know which printer drivers work with Terminal Services?

All of the Microsoft-supplied printer drivers are tested with Terminal Services and guaranteed to work. Before using a third-party printer driver, make sure it has been certified for Terminal Services. There is a Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) program for getting third-party printer drivers certified on Terminal Services. Please ask your printer driver vendor to secure such certification.


Now, in the Forex Cargo domain, we have noticed that the most compatible printer brand is the
  1. Epson
  2. Canon
  3. HP
THE LIST IS ORDERED BY COMPATIBILITY.

Note:
If you are going to get a new printer for use with remote desktop, get a regular printer, don't get the All in Ones. If you already have a All In One printer, there is a work around, but you have to do the adjustments manually on your end. Meaning you have to change some settings on your pc's registry which we don't recommend.

I will post the registry settings soon.
