SYMPTOMS
If you try to print from a Windows 2000-based Terminal Services server client to a custom local port that is redirected to a file you receive the following error message:

Destination path not found.



CAUSE
The print spooler runs in the System context and has no access to the drive mappings in a user's session. When you print to a local port, the processing occurs on the server.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, click Print to File as the port. When you print to a file, the print processing occurs on the client.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
