Hi everyone. I'm running a test server that has Windows Server 2012 R2 on it. I'm successfully offering up Tessitura via RemoteApp. However, one issue I've run into is that I can't create the normal Sybase Datawindow PS PDF printer so that our folks can save reports and such things as PDF files. I have installed the Ghostscript PDF printer driver but when I select that as the driver, then go to name the printer Sybase Datawindow PS and click Next nothing happens. It won't progress to the next step.
Is anyone else out there running Tessitura on Windows Server 2012 R2 and have successfully created that printer on the server so that your folks can save to PDF?
While we aren't running on 2012 R2 yet, I would bet this is the same problem we had with the Ghostscript install on a Windows 8.1 workstation. By default, unsigned device driver installs are disabled at the O/S level on 8.1. Ghostscript is an unsigned driver, and the install hung and went nowhere just as you indicated.
The solution on 8.1 is to "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" and I think this article might help you out for the 2012 R2 install:
