Yes.

You can use the local printer with the remote connection..In terminal services options you have to check "printers" before connecting.

Also if you have installed sp1 if will have the fallback print driver or you may need to install the print driver on the terminal server
you will deffinitely need to install the driver on the server - otherwise it wont work

when i setup the deafult printer for teh users in terminal services it always changes when they log back in how do i make sure it is the deafault i want every time they login. each user has a different default
is there a batch file i can write and put in there startup to get the default printer to get set everythime?
how do you make sure the default printer from the desktop is teh default printer in the terminal?
Option Explicit
Dim objPrinter
Set objPrinter = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objPrinter.SetDefaultPrinter "\\Servername\Printername"


place that in a vbs logon script
how do I install teh driver and not the printer omn the server?
