Hello,
Using USB standard redirection on smart cart reader can be tricky, because many prerequisites must be met in order for it to work.
You need to install the exact same version of device drivers on client side and server side.
This means if your server is installed with 2012 x64 but your client computers are installed with Windows 7 x32, you will need to add manually these drivers on your server by editing the print server properties and add x32 drivers for 7.
For best results, it is also recommended not to use USB smart card reader but prefer COM or LPT printers. It is possible to purchase adapters for this purpose
If you are planning on using a USB device after all, make sure you updated the RDP protocol of your client computer to 6 or above to ensure maximum compatibility with redirected printers.
Even with all this in mind your device may not be suitable to be redirected in a TSplus session, therefore you may need to look into specific procedure to install these printers in RDS / terminal server environment, which is very close to TSplus in this case.
