Brother Printer Error Codes – E58 on HL7050

Ensure the correct drivers are installed on the Terminal Services Server.

If you're using the MSTSC (microsoft terminal services client) to remote into a remote machine, it should attempt to share the printer through the RDP protocol, and automatically create it on the other side.

This process can fail when the printer's driver isn't installed, and the "Terminal Services Easy Print" driver is not installed. The easiest way is simply to install the same driver on the server that is used on the workstation. (The name of the driver is VERY IMPORTANT... otherwise it considers it a different printer. Things like "HP Laserjet 4000" and "HP Laserjet 4000 (ms)" are treated as 2 different printer models & won't map the printer driver)

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the 2008 server has the "Terminal Services Easy Print" driver turned off by default. Simply turn it on and in theory all printers that don't have the driver installed, will default to the easyprint driver. In reality, I've had lots of troubles trying to make it work in XP 100% correctly. There are several known problems with it, and I would suggest you look at installing the "manufacturer's driver" rather than relying on the easy print driver.

At a minimum for XP... make sure you install XP SP3 & Dot-net 3.5 to make "Terminal Services Easy Print" mostly work.
