I had a similar issue with printing locally to a local USB printer from DOS.
What I did was tricked the system into thinking the local shared printer was
a remote printer.

For USB printers like the new deskjets I would share out the printer as
Deskjet and my command to print to it through my DOS apps as though I was on
LPT1 was:

Net use LPT1: \\127.0.0.1\Deskjet

One of the issues I had with mapping LPT1 on XP was that there could not be
a hardware LPT1. I either had to disable the printer port or adjust the
settings so it was LPT 2 or 3.

Now I guess on the Terminal server you could do something similar and share
out the printer "BlahBlah on HOMECOMPUTER session X" but I think one of the
issues will be that you might have to do it manually each time because
Session X will change depending on when you log in.
