Reduced page size when printing via rdp

printingwindows-terminal-services

I am facing a issue with printing on some printers via RDP using the easyprinting feature. The client is windows 7 Home, and the servers is Win2K8.
The issue is if I print the same document from the Client and the server, some 3 cm is lost in the buttom of the page when printed on the server.

I have no clue where to start in debugging this issue, can anyone help me?

Install the printer driver on the server and see if that resolves the issue. Any other method (Easy Print, Fallback Printer, custom print inf, etc.) is a hit or miss proposition. Microsoft has done a pretty decent job of making priting more reliable in RDP sessions but it's not perfect and some cases boil down to installing the driver on the RDS/TS server.
