    printer redirection vanishing print test page


    Hi,
    I was wondering if someone could help me out with this issue im having with printing redirection. On my workstation computer I have installed an HP printer which works perfectly. Now I wanted to try Remote desktop printing redirection on my windows server 2012r2, it recognizes but when i try to send a print test page it would sent it then immediately vanishes i then tried giving the folder spool full permission which i did.I am completely stumped. I was wondering if someone had this issue or if someone could guide me what im doing wrong

    Thank you.

    EDIT:
    I ended up installing a virtual machine on the server with windows 8.1 the i RDP to the virtual machine and worked flawless no drivers were even needed to install. What i think might be the problem on the windows server is it uses the easy driver first rather then the driver of the device. But it was much easier putting a new virtual machine acting as a print server
