Hi,
We're running a single 2012 R2 session host through a 2012 RTM RDG / RDWeb / RDCB. Clients are all Win7 SP1 running RDP 8.1.
The issue is that graphics are poor quality when printing through Easy Print. I can see by testing with CutePDF locally on the TS versus redirected that the raster graphics have JPG compression artefacts. The client is not happy with this.
I know that Easy Print renders to XPS and sends the XPS over the RDP channel to the client. I can see that in printing defaults for "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" you can choose between JPEG high, medium or low compression, or PNG lossless. I've set MXDW defaults to PNG. No effect.
I've examined the driver properties and found some files I can edit in notepad. I've hunted through and got quite hopeful when I located "C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\prnms001.inf_amd64_4fa1863520b2418e\MXDW.gpd" and edited the default option for ImageType to "PNG". THis had no effect.
I know exactly what's happening and I can't figure out how to configure it. Please can someone tell me how to make Easy Print use PNG compression instead of JPG for raster graphics.
