Looking for a PDF writer that works under Terminal Server

Looking for a PDF writer that works under Terminal Server

Hi all.  I am looking for recommendations for PDF printer driver
software that works under Terminal Server, running on a Windows Server
2008 box.  At our office, we are happy with PrimoPDF as a PDF writer
on our desktops, but unfortunately this product doesn't work in a
terminal server environment.  Ideally, we'd like a free product to do
this, but if it's a low cost solution that's ok too.  I've seen some
products with a terminal server licence of > $1500, and that is just
too rich for our blood.  Thank you.

Tony

e.g. cib pdf brewer.
See
http://www.cib.de/english/products/pdf/free-pdf-converter/free-pdf-converter.asp
for functions and
http://www.cib.de/english/products/pdf/license_pricelist.asp
for prices. Terminal server licence is either per server or per
client.
(I'm not associated with cib but I'm using it myself.)

CUPS + ghostscript? Does that run under Windows?

Redmon maybe? (Not tried it out myself, you'll have to check.) See:

http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/redmon/

There is a mention of Windows Terminal Server on that page - though
it's under the "Known issues" section, it probably means that RedMon
does work under WTS. That (RedMon on WTS) issue could be a showstopper
for you, of course - best is to check it out, if it looks like it
otherwise meets your needs and if you can live with the issue.
