dos printing in TS Session

[fernando]

Hi All,
I have a Terminal server (2k) working with printer
redirection setup.

All windows print redirection works properly through the
session to my. When I print via a dos shell app (ie
through edit) it sends the jobs to the local TS Servers
printer.

Is there a way to tell Terminal services to redirect DOS
based applications through the clients session to their
my printer. I want it to work in the same way as windows
printing through the TS Session.

This is causing a major problem as users connecting to
the server, who need to print via a dos application,
requires someone to fax them a copy of the
printout....which is not very productive and extremely
annoying for the users.

Any tips, tweaks or scripts advise would be helpful...
Regards,
Fernando

the situation is that I am not in a microsoft domain and
we are also in seperate nds trees. Our file servers are
all novell and only some application servers are
Microsoft 2k server.
Any other idea's?

Thanks,
Fernando

Does not matter. What Vera meant is if you want to print from your TS
SESSION to the printer you have installed on the PC you use to access the
TS, you must SHARE THE AUTOCREATED printer on the TS ITSELF and map it.
