<div>
The user is a local admin on both - I have checked that earlyer as i thought that might be it.
</div>


<div>
OK.<br />
<br />
Have you tried to log on to the pc as a local user to see if it's still grayed out?<br />
<br />
If you are able to install it as a local user - it should also be avaliable for all other users.<br />

<div>
The problem is that there is only 1 PC on the site.<br />
<br />
I have just remoted in on my PC and the option is also greyed out.<br />
<br />
The local printer is not attachde to the terminal server.
</div>


<div>
It turned out I had to add the user to the domain admins and then do the change and then remove.<br />
<br />
However it was quicker to log in myself and add the printer.

Server - Terminal Server 2003<br />
Local PC - Vista Business<br />
<br />
The Server and Local Machine are not in the same place. 200 Miles apart.<br />
<br />
Issue<br />
I have a vista pc that the user remotes into the terminal server via RDC.<br />
When we attempt to add a local printer on the RDC connection, the only option we have is to setup a network printer. &nbsp; The local printer is greyed out.<br />
<br />
We have around 15 users which do not have this issue using XP and vista.<br />
<br />
I connect via the Vista with any account I know work on other machines and the local option is greyed out.<br />
<br />
Any ideas

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.

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.
