More Information

If the registry value is set to 0, Printer Redirection will fail even if the Print Spooler is started on the Terminal Server. In this scenario, no Event IDs are logged to indicate why no printers are being redirected. To enable print redirection, check (or create) the registry value and set the value to 1.
