Using Remote Desktop Connection and Printers

[Guest]

Please help!

I have several users who access a box I have that runs Windows Server 2003
Standard edition. They access the box and its applications by running Remote
Desktop Connection. Some users can see their local printers, others cannot.
Could this be due to the version and service pack of XP they are running?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

More likely due to the printer, and connection to same.
