I have a user that is connecting from her MAC (using the RDP software for
MAC) to a Terminal Server 2003 box. She wants to be able to print to her
locally attached printer. I've loaded the Server 2003 drivers for the
printer on the server, but when she connects to the server it does not
automatically recongnize her printer and make it available. This works for
clients using PC's to launch their remote session. Is this something that
can work in a MAC RDP Session, or is that incompatible?

Thanks for your help.

Re: Printing to a MAC Connected Printer via TS Session

Which version of MacRDC is she using?
The current version is 1.0.3, and with that version, you *must* use a
PostScript driver.

Many Mac users have installed the beta version of the Mac RDC 2.0
client, which doesn't have this requirement any more.

You might want to post in the mac rdc newsgroup for more help:
microsoft.public.mac.rdc

Re: Printing to a MAC Connected Printer via TS Session

Thanks. I'll have to find out which version of the RDC, but it was
downloaded from the Microsoft website within the last 4 months.

I know I did not load a Post Script driver so I'll change that.
I will post on the other group.

Thanks again.
