Print to a local printer when connected to a remote server over a VPN.
I am trying to print to a local printer when I am connected to a remote server over a non dedicated VPN.
I am using the Windows VPN and Remote Desktop software on my laptop which is running Windows XP Pro - Service Pack 2. The server is a managed server at a remote location. The Server is running Windows 2003 and we are accessing the software via Terminal Server. When I am connected to the server I cannot see any of my local printers not can I see any of the drives on my laptop.
When I try to add a loca printer via the Add a Printer Wizard, the local printer option is grey out.
Is there a way to use a local printer?

Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
