Local Printer on a Remote Desktop Connection
Hi,
We have a client who uses RDP to access a remote server. The client needs to print to their local printer from the remote machine.
On the Remote Desktop options we have set Printers to be available on the local resource tab. Whilst trying to add the printer on the server it does not seem to be able to see the local printer at all.
Any ideas/basic checks we can carry out?
Thanks

Make sure that the user has Printers ticked on in his RDP connection; the mapping to his local printer should work automagically then.

We have this ticked in the local resource tab on RDP options as shown in the screenshot attached.
The printer is a HP Office Jet 4620. Local machine is Windows 7 Pro and the server is Windows Server 2012

Did you also tick it on the server so that the server allows it? Check both local and server eventlog to make sure the driver is being detected as well.
