Printing from Dos in TS Remotly

[Byron Hopp]

Is it possible to print from a dos application remotly to
a printer on a peer to peer network on the remote side.
Currently I am using Window TS from 2000 server.

Can you capture the lpt1: port and redirect the printing
to the redirected printer or a network printer?

Should be no reason why I could not do what you asked.
But I am attempting to do this throught the internet.
Static IPs on both sides.

Does not matter. If the printer shows up on the TS session as a redirected
printer, you can share it and map within the session. This will do the
trick.
I even posted a KIX script to find the default mapped printer and
automatically share and map it within the session.

Hi Byron,

I think the key point of this issue is that if we can see the remote shared
printer over the Internet. (this depends on how you connect these 2 LAN
through the Internet)

If so, we can either redirect the printer:

or print to the remote shared printer directly.
