Terminal Services not redirecting to local printer

Asked by kserritt in Remote Desktop/Terminal Services, Windows 2003 Server

Tags: terminal, printer, server, services, local

I am trying to configure terminal services to redirect printing to the local printer. According to the staff it was working correctly at one time but I didn't configure it then. The terminal server is on a remote network that is connected through VPN it is running Windows Server 2003. The client machines are all running Windows XP. The printer is a local network printer connected through TCP/IP to the client machines. They can print to the printer locally but are not given the printer as a option when connected via Terminal Services. I have only done this once before and it was years ago on a 2000 server so I very well could be missing something simple.

In Terminal Services Configuration I have set the RDP-Tcp to "Connect client printers at logon". I have checked to make sure that "Windows printer mapping" is not disabled.

In AD under the connection tab for the user I have it set to "Connect client printers at logon" and "Default to main client printer".

I have checked the GPO under Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Component\Terminal Services\Client/Server data redirecton the "Do not allow client printer redirection" is disabled.

I am not sure what else at this point to check. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
