How to use local network printer of 2003 while connected to 2000

[Mac]

I have 2003 server in one office and windows 2000 in another so I use
terminal server from 2003 or xp to connect to windows 2000 server.

When I get connected, I do not see my LAN printer of 2003. I need to
connect to 2000 thru terminal server and printer here on LAN.

I would appreciate your help.

Are you connecting to the 2003 server with a VPN and is file and printer
sharing enabled on the VPN connection?

Does the 2003 server use a different IP range than your local network?

Is there a WINS server on the 2003 server?

Is the printer installed as a local printer on the 2003 server? Is it
shared?

If you don't have these setup, you won't be able to "See" the printer.

I think I may have misread your original post, are you saying you are
connected to a shared printer on your workstation and when you connect by
remote desktop to the 2003 server you don't have access to the local
installed printer on your workstation?

Do you have the remote desktop client configured to connect to the local
printer? (Local resources tab)
If the client is properly configured, use the Terminal Services
Configuration console on the server Open Connections, right click RDP-Tcp,
choose properties,, select the Client Settings Tab, clear the check box next
to Windows printer mapping. Log off the session, then log back into the
terminal server. Your local printer should then be available.

ya do what he said also, is the driver installed on the remote server? do you
go into event viwer and see warnings about the printer not being installed?
install the driver on the remote server if this is the case.
