When I connect to the RDS server and open Excel with the PCL6 printer and select File / Print the paper size says Custom Paper Size and I can not change the paper size here, in the Page Layout tab or in the drivers properties pages. Using the PS driver there is no issue. I've tried using several stock PCL6 drivers from Windows 7 and have the same issue such as the HP LaserJet P4014/4015 PCL6. Using the Lanier LP131n PCL6 or PS I had the issue with PS as well.
I do not have the drivers loaded on the server so it is using Remote Desktop Easy Print. If I do load the drivers and allow it to use them then there is no issue but I cannot configure the printers options without taking ownership of the printer so that is not desirable.
If I do not install KB2592687 then there is no issue, but that is not an option as I am dealing with a customer who's IT manager refuses to remove this, even to test it, and says our printer driver has the issue and is not compliant with MS TS.
Could I be missing any configuration, hotfix, policy that could explain this issue or any other workaround? Or is there a change required to our printer driver for this?
Test setup:
I created a new Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard server with SP1, Added the RDS Role, Installed Office 2010 Professional with SP1 using the Terminal Services product key. No updates were installed. I have tested installing every possible update as well for both Server and Office.
I then created a new Windows 7 Professional x86 with SP1 client, installed PCL6 & PS printers, installed KB2574819 and KB2592687. No other updates were installed. I have tested installing every possible update as well.
