Terminal Services with a P1505n laserjet printer

I just bought a p1505n and have it installed and working properly with my xp pro workstation using the PCL 5E driver. when i log onto the Terminal Server i don't see it as an option to print. the 1505n is supposedly compatible with terminal services but....
anyway. i called hp and they wanted me to install the full printing solution on the server 2003. i don't want to do that. do you guys know of another route to go. i also asked if there was an inf file i could get for it the tech support person said there was no way to extract it.
any help would be appreciated.

i tried this route. i installed the 1505n on the server itself. the server prints fine to the 1505. i take the printer off of the server and put it back on my xp machine. it still does not show up as an option to print from my terminal services. there is however a 1505n listed as offline from the previously local installed printer. any ideas.
masqueraid... what do you think.

Delete the printer from the server, now it's installed all the drivers are there and you don't need an entry for a physically attached printer that isn't there anymore. If it still isn't recognised through the RDC then you could try the LJ6 "fix" - just change the default XP driver file into the printer properties page don't install it separately.
