I'm new to Personas and am in the process of testing a floating Persona pool it so we don't have to have so many staff persistent desktops to manage.
I believe have everything working except for printing.
1.) If I add a network printer as a local printer (by creating a TCP/IP port), nothing sticks and the printer disappears after logging off.
2.) If I add a network printer shared off of a print server by using it's path (i.e. //printeserver/printername) the printer stays, but complains that it doesn't have the appropriate print drivers installed after re-login, although I am thinking of adding the print drivers to the base image to see if that solves this.
However, all of our printers aren't necessarily shared via the print server. Sooo....
3.) I tried adding a printer as a network printer and connected to it via the printer's IP address. It installed, and already had the drivers natively in Windows 7, but this printer again disappears after logoff.
So #2 is the only one that I got to stick to the user's Persona....but that will only fix part of the problem since we've got a lot of networked printers that aren't served via our main print server.
Am I barking up the wrong tree? Should I be trying to setup printers differently? I'm finding the documentation thin and confusing on this part of Personas.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
