Print to home computer from Windows server 2008
Hello,
I am using Windows Server 2008 R2. I have a printer connected to my local machine. For connecting to Windows Server I use remote desktop and I have Office 2010 installed on Windows Server.
My problem is that I want to print some documents on my home printer from Windows server. Is this possible?
So, the whole scenario: I remotely connect to Windows Server from my home computer using remote desktop. I open some word document and print it to my home printer. How to set the printer?
Best regards, Frenky

There is one interesting thing: under Network and sharing center there is an option 'turn on network discovery'. I've checked this option, but it doesn't stay checked. I've also pressed button Save changes and I have admin privileges, but this option does not stay checked.
I am enabling this under my domain (I have three options for changing sharing options: public, home and domain).

I've figured it out where is the problem: from logs I've found the reason:
The document New Text Document - Notepad, owned by administrator, failed to print on printer HP LaserJet 4050 Series PCL 5 (redirected 3). Try to print the document again, or restart the print spooler.
Data type: RAW. Size of the spool file in bytes: 23611. Number of bytes printed: 0. Total number of pages in the document: 1. Number of pages printed: 0. Client computer: \\ASCENT. Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 5. Access is denied.
I am signed as Administrator - and Administrator has no permissions for printing. The problem is that I can not set printer permissions for administrator or any other user. All controls are disabled. Why is that?

This hasn't solved my problem completely, but I've learned something new - I guess solution would be using Citrix or something similar.
