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.
