Terminal Server 2008 - printer not available
I have set up a Terminal Server 2008, but am having problems getting printers to work for clients. Client is XP SP3, .NET 4.0, with a local printer. I installed the printer driver on the TS, but when I connect the client, I receive the following error in the server's event log:
Driver EPSON TM-T88IV ReceiptE4 required for printer EPSON TM-T88IV Receipt is unknown. Contact the administrator to install the driver before you log in again.
Every article I find tells me I have completed all the necessary steps. Any thoughts on what to try next?

Connecting as administrator doesn't change things - printer still unavailable
.NET 3.5 sp1 & 4.0 are installed on TS
Re RDP 6.1, my understanding is that XP SP3 includes RDP 6.1. So we are using 6.1
We have a 2003 TS in production; printing works fine.
Thanks for your assistance!

is this a 32bit or 64bit platform?
EPSON TM-T88IV ReceiptE4
are you able to connect this printer directly to the TS server (just for testing?)

Both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers are installed on the server
The server is 64-bit
Printers are in a different location (somewhat distant); not sure if I can get my hands on one here (where the server is).

limjianan encouraged me to set up a printer in-house, which enabled me to find the solution.
have TS2008 has .net framework 3.5 sp1?
i am seeing whether it is a profile issues or the TS issues...
ON xp sp3, are you using RDP v6.1 or the XP rdp?
try also RDP from a windows 2003 server/2008 server ..
i am trying to figure out is it a Client issues or a TS issues.
