Remote Desktop Services Printing to Local Pritner
I have setup RDS on a 2008 server which is also a domain controller. I can print to network printers through redirected easy printing drivers in the RDS sessions. I can not print to a locally conntected USB HP 1120w priner. I have installed the HP 1120w printer drivers directly on the server but that did not help. When I attempt to print a test page to the HP 1120w I immediately receive an error "test page failed to print". I have attempted to print while logged on as the domain admin but still no success. Any ideas of what to test or check next?

'cause it worked.
When you install that printer, what port type is it making, a DOT.x (something like that?)
Check if there is an equivalent print driver for HP to use in Remote Desktop/Terminal Server environment.
If I remember correctly, you may need to install a driver for a different HP printer model for it to work.
