network printr with remote desktop

[Guest ats1098]

I'm running 2003 server with TS at my office and I would like to change out

my LPT printer at home with a Ethernet based printer since USB is not

supported. Will I be able to print to a Ethernet printer through my RDP at

home?

Yes you will, once you are able to print to it from your local machine, you

will be able to print on it once you connected to a remote server as well.

Why does this not work for USB printers?

It works also for USB printers. Maybe yout printer-driver-software uses a

different port name.
