You cannot print to multiple trays in a Remote Desktop session in Windows Server 2008 R2


View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You install the Remote Desktop Services role on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2.
  • On a client computer, you install a printer that supports the multiple trays configuration.
  • You establish a remote desktop connection to the computer from the client computer.
  • In the Remote Desktop session, you redirect the printer by using the Terminal Services Easy Print feature.
  • In the Remote Desktop session, you try to print a multiple-page document, and you configure the use of multiple trays.
In this scenario, all printed pages are sent to the print tray that is configured for the first page. Therefore, you cannot print a document to multiple trays.

Cause

This issue occurs because the Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver does not include the tray selection settings when print tickets are created.
