Printer is not working correctly

[randomuser2024]

I'm new to this world, and I'm using a EPSON L4260 printer in my company's thin client. I use the parameter rdp_printer properly but when I send the printing it prints broken, I'm mean a lot of random charachter, as if there was some driver issue. What I wonder is, do I need to instal the printer's drive on server using the rdp_printer parameter?

To use the parameter rdp_printer= properly you should copy-paste printer driver name, that is already installed, tested and works with this printer on this server.

What do you write into the parameter rdp_printer= and where did you take this text from?

I connected the printer on my computer, then when the PC regonized the printer I went to control panel > printers & devices > I located the EPSON L4260 printer > right click > properties > then on "model" I took the name. As I already did before to others printers and worked.

But when I print, it prints a lot of random charachters. Some people say that I need to instal drivers on server but others say no. Does the printing goes to the server first or it goes directly sent to the printer from the thin client? Considering that use WTware + OpenVPN

Print test page, right? To test printer is recognized correctly.

If possible, enable Remote Desktop on your computer. Then connect to your computer from wtware terminal with printer connected. And try to print.

In rdp_printer= parameter you write driver name. If server recognizes it, then some driver for this printer is already installed on server. If you write wrong text instead of already installed driver name in the rdp_printer= parameter, server will not display this printer in printers list.

Possible problems:

1. Printer is recognized incorrectly. So test it on your computer and then on wtware connecting to your computer.

2. Installed on server driver (included in server by default) is bad. Try to install manufacturer driver if possible. Also, if possible, connect printer to server directly to test, this guarantees that driver is right.

Well is there another simple option for this?

There are four methods to redirect printer. rdp_printer= is the simplest. Also,

I installed the printer's driver on server, but the Windows 11 edition and then it worked properly. Thank you for helping me.
