Cannot connect printer with remote desktop connection to Windows SMB Server

Hello, I am connecting to a server running microsoft smb server using remote desktop connection. While I can connect a local drive I can't seem to connect a local printer. I have enabled the connect remote printer option but still no joy. Also what is the most cost effective way of allowing more than two remote desktop connections using smb?
Many Thanks in Advance!

Thankyou both very much for your assistance. Just one last point to clarify, when I install the driver I can see 3 ports that are marked as TS001 port on connection "connection number here". I take it I am to manually select one of these ports for the printer driver. Apologies if this is obvious stuff.. I am very much first time around at these things!
