I have a client that is accessing her machine via remote desktop. Today, I
discovered that she could print to her local printer by
selecting printers in the local resources tab of Remote Desktop Connection.
On her home system everything works fine.
So... She is going away for 3 weeks and had me set her laptop up to connect
remotely which I did. She also bought a Lexmark 600 series
inkjet printer to take along so that she can print out her work from the
server to her local printer. I can not get this printer to show up in
the available printers. On the home PC the Printer is a Brother Laserjet
Printer (ML4500 I think) it is attached to the computer with a
parallel cable.
The laptop, which I cannot get to work is a Lexmark 600 series inkjet
printer attached to by USB. Is there a problem bringing local printers
into Remote Desktop sessions that are attached via USB on the client side?
BTW. The printers print fine on both machines outside the RDP session.
(Locally as if Remote Desktop was never being used).
One other thing to note... She also has a network printer setup on the
laptop that allows her to print when she brings the laptop into the office.
This printer shows up in the RDP session but the Lexmark does not.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
