Remote Desktop Printing Issue

I have one XP Workstation connecting with remote desktop to Server 2008 that will not print. Used to work fine until I changed out the computer. Happens with different login names and same login names print from other computers to same network printer just fine - therefore there is a problem on the XP Box. I see that Symantec Endpoint 11 may be causing the issue so that will be the first thing I go after, although I have other XP boxes using SEP without error. I disabled SEP but had same result. I will not be back in front of remote system until tomorrow, so there will be a delay in response to ideas. Anyone run accross this before?

BTW - Print driver is fine as it works on other machines and there are no errors on server or workstation. Print job hits spooler and clears but nothing ont he remote XP box.
Yes the problem is the printer driver on your xp box does not match the one on your server. The name must match Exactly to the one on the server in order for it to work.
This means capitalizations, spaces... everything must be the same
Like I said, i will post back tomorrow, but I think they are the same as on the other workstations. But thatnks and I will verify!
