If you use a printer that's on the market now, and you're unwilling to
purchase an EMF or PDF Based Printing program like ThinPrint, Simplify
Printing, Print-IT, UniPrint... then you MUST purchase a PCL or PS compatible
printer, NOT LIDIL, as LIDIL will NOT work w/o an EMF/PDF Based Printing
Solution.
Once you have the printer selected and working on the client you can map it
to a server driver using a user defined inf file and registry entry on the
server (or use the Printer Redirection Wizard from MSFT)

HP DeskJet or PhotoSmart Printers generally work better than others, using
the DeskJet 500C Driver. There's a good mapping list here:
