Did you enable the printers to be mapped through the Remote session? Click options on the remote desktop connection and go to the local resources tab. Make sure printers is enabled. Also the remote computer needs to have the driver installed for the printer on your local PC.

i assume you're using an XP machine to remote in to another computer. &nbsp;what kind of computer are you remoting into? &nbsp;is it another workstation? &nbsp;a server? &nbsp;a terminal server? &nbsp;you may be doing everything correctly but the policies on the machine you're remoting into might be preventing you from mapping printers. &nbsp;are you remoting into a domain?

Local printer is not available on remote desktop connection using Windows XP SP2

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
