remote desktop question

[Guest]

I have a client who has a windows xp (dont know if its home or pro) and
remotes into another windows xp professional computer in an office. They have
a hp laserjet Mulitfunction center at the clients house and it uses a dot4
usb connection. That connection will not redirect over remote desktop and the
client cannot print locally. How can i get that kind of usb connection to
redirect over rdp? I loaded the drivers on the rdp host so i know its not a
driver issue.

Thanks

I didn't think you could use Remote Destop on that way......can the printer
be put on a Print server? Then the client could print to the IP address
possibly?

You cannot print stuff from within a Remote Desktop session on a
local DOT4 printer. It remains invisible. To confirm that everything
else is configured correctly, load the driver for an HPLJ4L on the
local PC. If this printer is visible under the RDP session then your
configuration is correct.

Thanks for the quick response everyone. I will see what options they want to
go with.
