MS KB article <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/264039/en-us" rel="ugc nofollow">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/264039/en-us</a>&nbsp;says that network printers are not redirected by design. Only printers that are installed as local printers (including TCP/IP port, USB and LPT printers) will be redirected.<br />
<br />
Printers that are connected to a print server ( \\server\sharedprinter ) will not be redirected.<br />
<br />
Maybe reconfiguring the printer as a TCP/IP printer (not via the print server) will solve your problem.

Can't you just load the network printer in your TS session?

I believe you can. &nbsp;I need to know first, is this just a Remote Desktop computer? &nbsp;If so, there's a better way of gaining access....VNC Server/Client [free edition works well]. &nbsp;Does the same thing as TS or RDP except it runs on TCP port 5900. &nbsp;This is far superior. &nbsp;If you don't want to do this, I need to know if it's actually a server you're running or is it another XP workstation<br />

RWK14,

I believe you can.  I need to know first, is this just a Remote Desktop computer?  If so, there's a better way of gaining access....VNC Server/Client [free edition works well].  Does the same thing as TS or RDP except it runs on TCP port 5900.  This is far superior.  If you don't want to do this, I need to know if it's actually a server you're running or is it another XP workstation

cheers.

if i connect the printer locally it works fine, but due to space this is not a possibilty<br />
<br />

Terminal services Printing

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.
