Chances are these are host based printers - they depend on the OS's CPU to do the actual printing work.  if this is the case, then you need to use the Universal Printer Driver for RDS/RemoteApps in order for them to be able to print.

whats about the other printers types ?
"Most" printers have their own internal controller board with their own CPU's.  But, several years ago, manufacturers started using the computer's CPU to do their work (hence 'host-based').  The means that the driver must directly communicate with the printer in order to function.  With RDS, that is simply not an option.  Generally, the cheaper the printer, the more likely it is host based.

But, as I mentioned.. they will work if you use the Universal Printer Driver.  That causes the RDS to do the "prep" work, and send the print stream to the client and lets the client actually *do* the printing. (Simplified explanation, but good enough for this context :-)

not resolved.
any suggest?
Did you try the Universal Printer Driver?  

Coralon
yes...not working
Connect in with your RemoteApp, and use Ctrl-Alt-End to pull up the security dialog, and start task manager, and then run a command prompt from there.  Once you have that open, you can use control.exe to open the control panel, and look at the Printers & Scanners piece to see if the printers are even visible at that point.  Also, make sure that printers are chosen as part of the option in the RDP client.

And check the eventlogs on the RA server after you connect..
