Symptoms

Issue 1

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a Windows Server 2012 R2-based, Windows Server 2012-based, or Windows Server 2008 R2-based server that is running Remote Desktop Services.
  • You have a client that is running Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7.
  • You install an XPS-based printer driver to print to a local XPS printer on the Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7 client.
  • You disable the Remote Desktop Easy Print Group Policy setting on the Remote Desktop Services server, and then you install the XPS-based printer driver.
  • You redirect printing to the local XPS printer on the client.
  • You connect to the Remote Desktop Services server that uses the redirected printer, and you confirm that the redirected printer on the server is using the XPS-based printer driver instead of the Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver.
  • You try to print a job.

In this scenario, the print job is lost, and nothing is printed.

Issue 2

When you run an application in Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) 2.0 in Windows 7, the application crashes.

Cause

This problem occurs because the data that is sent from the server that is running Remote Desktop Services to the client is unexpectedly discarded.
