Cannot see local printers on remote machine
Posted by Bill on February 26th, 2006


Using XP Pro SP2 with all updates installed I cannot see my local
printers when I connect to a remote XP Pro SP2 PC using remote desktop.
I also cannot see the local printers when connected to a Win2003
Terminal server. I can see my local drives when connected to either the
XP Pro machine or the terminal server.

The local printers are not connected directly to the remote client PC
(unless you count Windows Fax and a PDF printer driver). They are all
shared printers on the local network the remote client is connected to.

I definitely have Printers checked in the Local Devices groupbox. What
am I missing?
