Windows 7 RDP Printing
I have a customer who has a SBS 2008 server and a lady from home connects to her computer at work via Remote Web Workplace. Both her home computer and work computer are Windows 7 64-bit. She says she was printing remotely but doesn't remember when it stopped.
I am a little confused at what I saw. I RDPed in as her from her computer and looked at printers. No printers we installed but when I looked at Ports there we 18 ports named [Home TS-001 PRN] or something like that. They are Terminal Service ports from her computer. Where did these ports come from and which one (1-18) should I use to set her printer up on?

OK. I got back on the home computer, RDPed in to the host computer and took a look at Printer Management. The printer driver is not installed on the host (LaserJet M1319F MFP) yet the printer is there.
When I look at ports there are TS001 thru TS024. Most of the descriptions are "Inactive TS Port" but there are four where the description is [RemoteComputerName]: PRN1 thru PRN4. I am going to have to assume that those four ports are from the remote computer but how do I know which one actually has the printer on it?
Did these ports come from a newer version of RDP because I don't remember seeing them in 2003????
