Sage Many Redirected Printers
If you remote into a PC to run Sage, sometimes your local printer does not connect. To resolve this you need to open the Windows printers console on the computer running Sage and look for the appropriate printer and the “redirected #”. Then in Sage under Report & Form Options, choose the items you wish to print and beside them select the printer with the redirected # that matches the printer in the Windows printers console, as in the image below.
On many systems each time you reconnect to the remote computer a new redirected connection is created such that there are so many it can be near impossible to locate the appropriate redirected printer. See image below as an example.
To clear all these excess printers you can edit the registry. (As usual, back up the registry or at least the key before deleting and if not comfortable doing so, do not proceed as registry changes can corrupt your machine) To clean up the list of printers, on the computer running Sage, locate the registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Window Nt\Currentversion\Printerports
Delete all printer ports showing (redirected #). Do not delete those without (redirected #)
Reboot the computer running Sage, reconnect, and select the newly redirected printer.
