Usb printing from terminal server

[HANNESP]

I am trying to print on a HP 3740 USB deskjet printer from terminal server. I
have installed the internet driver ("3740_enu_win2k_xpinfu.exe") on the
server. Locally, the printing works fine.
When I print from the server, the job is well redirected to the local
printer but locally, job hangs and remains in the queue. When I look to the
printer icon, windows displays: "Printer ready. 0 documents"; in the queue
although the document is still there with non zero size.
If I uncheck the "enable bidirectional support", documents are deleted from
the queue without printing.
The printer is installed locally on a "USB002 virtual printer port for USB".
If there is no Win2k driver supporting remote printing for 3740, what hp
deskjet could I choose? I have checked the HP supported printer list but no
new model are in that list!

Thanks for help...

I'm afraid that it is worse than that. HP has documented that the
DeskJet 3700 series is *not* supported, since they use a LIDIL
driver.

Thanks for your comment. Could you help me more: the link you paste is not
active anymore. I would like to know what cheap HP deskjet printer (usb) I
have to buy to be sure there will be no problem with terminal server.
Could you advice me some printers?

The link is fine, but you have to copy and paste the URL in your
webbrowser. Or if you want something clickable, go to my website
and look under "Printing"
The answer to your second question is the same HP document, since
it lists supported printers. I've no idea about prices or which
model uses which connection type.
