Printing to a MAC Connected Printer via TS Session

[Guest David G. Hoch]

I have a user that is connecting from her MAC (using the RDP software for

MAC) to a Terminal Server 2003 box. She wants to be able to print to her

locally attached printer. I've loaded the Server 2003 drivers for the

printer on the server, but when she connects to the server it does not

automatically recongnize her printer and make it available. This works for

clients using PC's to launch their remote session. Is this something that

can work in a MAC RDP Session, or is that incompatible?

 

Thanks for your help.

Which version of MacRDC is she using?

The current version is 1.0.3, and with that version, you *must* use a

PostScript driver.

 

Many Mac users have installed the beta version of the Mac RDC 2.0

client, which doesn't have this requirement any more.

 

You might want to post in the mac rdc newsgroup for more help:

microsoft.public.mac.rdc

Thanks. I'll have to find out which version of the RDC, but it was

downloaded from the Microsoft website within the last 4 months.

 

I know I did not load a Post Script driver so I'll change that.

I will post on the other group.

 

Thanks again.
