Hi guys,
I recently moved our local server over to a dedicated online server and now I need help to have that print to my local printer.
We are 20+ people who use it for RDP sessions and having to teach them to set the correct printer daily with the new redirect number is a hassle...
I have tried to add a printer using a DynDns account..
IS this possible ? Has anyone been able to do this ?
The server is running Windows server 2012 and local machines are running Windows 8.1/10

You can use this script to make the printer name not change due to different session ID. https://github.com/zniezelski/Printerceptor/releases

IPP printing sucks. If you want to setup the printer locally, i'd use site-to-site VPN.

Script is easy to deploy, the installer puts stuff where it should be.You can use the "restriction" feature to limit the scope so you can get around to updating the program printer settings so you don't get slammed with calls.

If it takes a long time to rename the printers at logon, removing the internet printing will speed it up. If you need help with it, let me know.

That is possible but sometimes the Redirected printer number changes and then the clients complain because they have to fix it or phone me to fix it ....So I was hoping for an alternative...

I've been having a think about this and I can't really see any alternative that would make it easier/less complicated. If you introduce a VPN then it's just going to be another factor that could go wrong during the process. If the printer is a networked printer is the IP static?

Yes I have set the printer to use a static IP...I am at the point where I would stop caring if they phone me everyday because even setting up the VPN is proving to be more of a hassle than just helping them with the redirected printer...

Actually a really easy method ! Thanks! Wish I could have found this earlier .
What I also found is that HP has released software Called ePrint which allowed me to do exactly what I want. So I set that up for them and now everything is working 100%
