Hi,
I have Windows 2000 client SP4 (Site A) connecting to Windows 2000 Terminal
Server across an adsl line (Site B). Works fine.

I have a Win2K server acting as Print Server (Site A) and I want to be able
to print to my network printer (Site A) from my Terminal Session (Site B).

How can I set this up?

Thanks

Make sure that you use the latest rdp client on the W2K client in
site A.
Redirection of network printers is supported in the latest rdp
client.

Thanks for this but how do I actually redirect the printer?

Start the rdp client - Options - Local resources - Check the box for
"Printers"

If the printer doesn't autocreate in the session, check the EventLog
on the Terminal Server to see why.
If you see EventID 1111, you will have to map the printer driver to a
native driver on the TS.

Thanks - works perfectly for a local printer.
I can't test this at the moment but should it autocreate network printers as
well?
