Re: Shared Printer and Terminal Server RDC Session.

Do you mean that the printer is installed on the server, or is it
your local printer (on the XP client) which is redirected as a
session printer? If it's a session printer, then the most likely
cause is that the printer driver isn't compatible with TS. Have you
tried with EasyPrint?

Re: Shared Printer and Terminal Server RDC Session.

The printer is neither installed on the XP Client or on the server, it is
installed on another Vista client (DoT4port) and shared to the XP client.
Ther Server is in a remote location and the printer drivers are already
installed on the server. In fact, we are able to see this shared printer in
the XP Client RDP Session, only thing is, when we give printout, it's not
going through.

Re: Shared Printer and Terminal Server RDC Session.

OK, that means (for rdp printer redirection purposes) that the
printer is installed on the local XP client, and you want to use it
as a session printer.
Since you have installed the driver on the TS, the printer will
show up as redirected (session) printer, as you report, but that
doesn't mean it will work.
The 99,99% cause for this is an incompatible printer driver.
Uninstall the driver completely from the server and enable
EasyPrint.
