RDP through VPN printing problems

February 22, 2008

I have set up an RDP via VPN connection. When i select Printers under local

resources the printer is not showing up on the host computer to print

locally. It's an XP Pro connecting to an XP Pro machine. Could someone

please recommend some trouble shooting steps? Any help would be greatly

appreciated.

Re: RDP through VPN printing problems

Printers are a traditional problem for RDP connections. I'd suggest asking

over on microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services or, probably even better,

microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely. The folks hanging out there have

seen this before, and undoubtedly have the latest information.
