Well I got big problems with printers on Terminal Server 2012 R2. On all users the printer just vanish. It happens sometimes after a hour, sometimes after a couple of days. Most times it happens to different users at the same time, but not all users. Its not always the same printer or the same driver or the same printer model or manufacturer. Printer driver should be set to real printer device driver not as Easy Print Driver. Printer set to Easy print driver. Mapped printer with client’s printer driver, your redirect printer should look like this. Check with printing. If you have installed correct drivers, the printer driver will be mapped in advance view of printer properties. At TSC Auto ID Technology Co., Ltd. (TSC) we specialize in the research and development, manufacture and marketing of barcode printers.

This tutorial contains step by step instructions on how to deploy a TCP/IP network printer on your domain workstations, by using the Group Policy in Active Directory 2016. After following the printer deployment procedure below, you will be able to print directly to the printer's IP Address from all your workstations of your domain.
By deploying a printer via the Group Policy, you will gain time because you do not need to install the printer drivers to each workstation separately and you will make your life easier when managing the printer, because all the changes at the printer settings can be made at one place (on the server's side). Additionally, you will ensure that all the network computers will use the same printer driver and the same printer settings.
