I am trying to setup a printer thru terminal service for my client so she can print remotely from the terminal server to her printer which is installed as a local printer over a TCP/IP port. The printer is new enough that the 2003 server that she is terminating into does not have the driver so what I did was I installed a fake printer and use the drivers I found off HP's site. I don't know if that is the best way to install the drivers so speak up if there is a better way, it just happen to work for me in most situations.
After I installed the fake printer with the correct driver I deleted it and rest the session and logged back in with no luck I check the printers and faxes and the printer did not show up and yes the printer option was check in the terminal service settings on the client computer. Since she was logging in with a Cisco VPN I tried to share the printer over the VPN and it worked I was able to print to her printer remotely the only problem is when I rest the session and go back in to print to the printer I don't have any rights to the printer any more even if I open all the rights to the printer and tell it to save the username and password when it connects to her computer. At this point I know the server have the drives needed to print to the printer now all I need to know is if there is a way to force the server to use that print. So you can see my problem Im hoping someone will be able to post a good link that has a how to on many different was to get TS printing to work or just a flat out answer to my problem. Thanks for any help ahead of time.
