No remote printers

[JRR]

I'm having a big problem lately with remote printing and 2003 and 2000 TS.
The drivers are the same on the TS and the client, the printers have exactly
the same name, but they just are not showing up in a session.

Also having a problem on one TS where the session printers are not deleted
when the client logs out. This one is a 2000 TS. There are only 3 clients
on this TS, so the Microsoft KB doesn't apply.

And printer redirection is enabled on the server and client side, I
assume?
Anything in the EventLog on either TS?

You may want to check out this MS article:

If the printers are not on a port that starts with COM, LPT, or USB,
they won't be mapped by default. There's a registry hack to remove this
filter.

Interestingly enough, the terminal server in question (2000) does not have
the key mentioned in the KB article.

The article isn't very clear on this point, but the registry key has
to be edited on the client, not on the server.

Well, that would make a difference... I hope. You ain't kidding the
article isn't clear. It blantantly leads you to doing this at the server.
