Canon USB printer

[Guest]

A Windows XP client with a Canon FAX-295 printer attached via USB connects to a Windows 2000 Terminal Server. The printer appears with a session numbers but documents that are printed to it show up as "Printed" but are not removed from the queue and are not actually printed. Does Win2K Terminal Server support USB printers? Is there a way to set this printer up so it will work correctly.

Using a usb printer, connected to the client should be no problem.
Using the third party driver for this on the server however, is not so
obvious.
Contact Canon support, and ask them if the 295 has a win2k server driver
which is compatible
for native printing only.
If it is, map the client side driver, to the new server side driver via the:
