Remote Desktop printer
We have PC os' Windows xp in our office and we contact to the office using Cisco VPN client software and contact remote desktop to the XP PC when we need document from office pc to my local printer and add new printer I cannot contact the printer?
What printer are you trying to connect with? Some printers don't work well or at all with RDP/TS Make sure the box is checked in the options to pass printers thru the session. If it is a USB printer i've found that sometimes if it has a parallel port in it you can use a parallel to USB adapter and have some success as i've found. Like an HP LaserJet 2200 i hooked up to a laptop via usb and it didn't pass thru but when i put the Parallel to USB adapter on it showed up without a problem.
You could try setting up your printer as a shared printer on your server machine.
