Remote Printer not appearing

[Guest Mick Foreman]

HI,

 

I don't seem to be able to printer remotely to a network printer in my site

office. The driver is loaded onto my laptop and into the TS at head office

using Server Properties -> drivers. When I'm in the site office I can print

directly from my laptop to the network printer. However when I connect to

the TS I don't see the redirected printer. I have no errors in the log and

it doesn't work when I log onto the TS as administrator. Have checked the

options in the Remote Destop Connector and it definately has local printers

ticked.

 

I loaded the same driver at both pla ces and used all the default settings

so it should all be the same. Laptop is running Windows XP Pro and TS is

Windows Server 2003 with SP1 loaded.

 

Any help appreciated.

Hi Mick,

 

Please use the version of the Remote Desktop Client

that came with your 2003 server. The install file for

it is located on your server's hard drive here:

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32\clients\tsclient\win32\msrdpcli.msi

 

After the install is complete on your laptop the shortcut

will be located under Start-->Programs. Use this new

shortcut instead of the one under Accessories-->Communications.

 

Thanks.
