Can a remote connection cause lpt1 corruption?

[Guest StoneChampion]

I have a Windows 2003 Std Server acting as a terminal server. Attached to

it's LPT1 port is an Okidata ML320 printer. A remote user also has this same

model of printer attached to her local PC. Ever since this user has started

using TS to connect there have been times where her print job is directed to

the server's local lpt1 instead of her PC. (I havnt ruled out the user

selecting the wrong printer but...) Also the LPT1 port on the server needs to

be removed and reinstalled several times a day. Could the fact that she has

the same printer attached to her local pc that is attached to the server be

causing this corruption to the LPT1 port?

The answer is No, having the same printer attached locally and remotely

shouldn’t be cause of printer output going on the wrong printer. Please

confirm that user selected right printer. It may help to make a clear

distinction if you rename the server attached printer to something obvious.
