RDP local printer not showing up when connected
I have 2 windows 7 machines one host and one local. I am trying to print using a dell 2335 printer that I have locally when i'm remoted in.
The printer is attached via usb.
I can print to the printer just fine locally when not connected to RDP, but when i connect to RDP the printer is not listed. I see a dell 2335dn listed but is the printer back at the home office (host computer).
How can i make it see my local printer? I have local resources on the RDP client set to show printers.
Thanks!

thats the thing the printer IS installed on the Local computer.
and the same printer is installed on the computer i'm remoting into
The one i'm logging into has a printer that is on the network but same printer.
Basically computer A (local) has dell 2335dn locally plugged into usb port
computer b (remote computer) has dell 2335dn installed its a networked ip printer port.
both printer print test pages just fine just i would like to print locally when remoted in.
