USB printer not showing in Terminal server

Hi all,

I have installed a HP laserjet 1012 on an XP machine and it is directly attached to this machine. I log into Tsweb and I cannot see the printer for some reason. Why would this be. The printer keeps picking up on the DOT port. I can print to the printer locally, but not over terminal server. The user that I am logged in as has connect client printer setting selected. What could be the problem>

Any suggestions would be great!

There is an option on the server end that may be preventing printers from being mapped.

Check the following on the server:

Start -> Run -> Type MMC
Click Consle -> Add/Remove Snap In
Add in the Terminal Services Configuration MMC
Under Connections right click RDP-tcp and select Properties
On the Client Settings Tab make sure that Windows Printer Mapping is NOT checked.

If it is checked then no users will be able to have there local printers work in a Terminal Server session.

Let me know,

Matt

Hi Matt,

thanks for the Res...... That is actually not marked and other users are able to print to their printers. It almost seems machine specific.
