Printers not connecting in a Remote Desktop Protocol session


Recommended Posts

I have a user that is using quickbooks on another computer. When she tries to

print something from the remote computer to her local printer, the printer

doesnt show up. I have checked the Remote Desktop settings and the printers

option is checked under the local resources tab. Any thoughts on how to fix

the local printers not connecting to the Remote Desktop Session?

 

Thanks!

You should try networking the printer.

 

It doesnt show up probably because shes not connecter by Remote Desktop.

Shes not on a remote desktop session, is she. If she is, It must be a bug. If

she isnt, then you need to share the printer by right clicking it, and elect

share on network.

RDP sessions won't work with DOT4 printers:
