Windows XP PRO Remote Desktop Printing to a local printer from a remote session

Tried it, didn't not help. It seems that nothing I do can get a print from
Quickbooks on the remote session to print on the local session. I've tried
setting the "Intuit Internal Printer" to LPT2 and the HP PSC 950 printer to
both COM1 & LPT1. Nether helped. Only the "Intuit Internal Printer" is
carried to the remote session and it fails to print to the local session.
I'd remove the "Intuit Internal Printer", but I need it to send forms with
attached PDF files.

Any more ideas???

Take a look at the link Patrick Rouse has posted in a similar thread
adjacent to this one.

Have you ensured that the driver for the printer is available at the host
machine--i.e. the one whose desktop you are working with when you wish to
print?

There are two parts needed here--1) getting the printer port redirected, and
2) making sure that the driver is available at the host.

If (2) is the problem, there will be event log entries at the host machine
which will help out--right-click My Computer, choose manage, expand Event
logs, and look in the System event log.

You can uncheck the option in the UI of the client.

Otherwise, I don't know what could cause it--it could be shut off by group
policy at the host end, as well.

There have been bugs which have had the result that certain antivirus apps
running at the host (pre sp1) prevented resource redirection. Unless your
host machine doesn't have SP1, or, perhaps, had SP1 but had a System
Restore, or a reinstall over itself done, that shouldn't apply.

I have treied unchecking and then rechecking the option in the reote desktop
dialog to no avail

All the other pcs on the remote network detect my local printer, (BTW they
do not need a driver installed locally) so i guess it must be soething in
the reg that is screwed. Any ideas?

I'd take a look at the policy entries at the host.
start, run, gpedit.msc <enter>
Local Computer Policy
Computer Configuration
Administrative Templates
Terminal Services

Check this stuff out--particularly settings under Client/Server data
redirection

Don't mess with it--just look for the settings related to printer
redirection--should all read "not configured"

Bill,

I've run into this problem at work. Here is how I was
able to fix the printing problem. First, Our Terminal
servers in the office are running Windows 2000 server.
Second, One of my users just got a computer running
Windows XP Pro. We reinstalled his VPN and Remote Desktop
software just like in his Windows 2000 Pro computer but he
could not print locally even though he did before. After
removing and reinstalling his printer model's driver in
our server it still didn't work until we decided to
install a Windows XP driver that we downloaded from hp.com
and also used the same driver on his Windows XP computer
(not the one that came with XP) and then like magic it was
now showing up in the list of printer remotely. We even
deleted the printer in the Terminal server. It just
needed the same driver. Hope this works for you since
this was a long reply. :-)
