Strange printer redirection issue (2k8R2)

Hello

I'm having an odd problem with a new 2008R2 terminal server & printer redirection.

In a few words everything seems to be working as expected: the client gets the auto mapped printer and can print - no error reported. However the print job never gets redirected to the local printer.

The odd part is that no error is reported, neither to the user nor to the event log (both on client or server). The job simply vanishes in thin air..

This is the case with most applications except when printing from Outlook 2010 where the program return a "Printer is not ready" error... Strange that Word, Excel or notepad would print but not Outlook...

Also strange is that the print redirection is working with Mac RDP client but not Windows (XP, vista or Win7). Ie same user, same client printer, works with Mac RPD...

Worth mentioning is that the TS server is virtulized and I have read some remarks about VMWare tools possibly interfering.Don't know if it's relevant, have not found anything specific to our setup.

Any help / pointer most welcome.
