Printing through remote desktop

[Kim]

I have remote desktop up and running from home to the
terminal server at work, but I was wondering if it is
possible to print at home from the terminal server when
running remote desktop. I would be grateful for any
ideas!

Hi,
Firstly the remote desktop connection wizard supports
printer port mapping under the local resources tab (KB
article 312135), second this will only work if you have
the drivers for your printer installed on the server or
are useing a generic windows provided driver (eg, HP
Deskjet).

By default the RDP connection will only forward USB or LPT
ports to the server so if you are using an Officejet or
other multifunction device you need to set the client to
forward all ports (KB article 302361).

Depends on what the server OS is... What version of Terminal Services
is running at work - Windows NT4, Windows 2000, or Windows 2003?
