Hello--

We have a client that is running Windows 2000 and RDP 5.1 and trying to
remote into a Terminal Server running Windows Server 2003. They just
installed a new desktop printer (HP K5400) and made it their local default
printer--as well as shared it.

Other network printers are mapping for this client, but this new local
printer is not. We are troubleshooting by seeing if we install RDP 6.0 if
that will work, but wanted to get any feedback anyone has on doing this.

Thanks,

sd

The RDP 6.0 upgrade package is supported only from Windows XP onwards.

But you can upgrade to rdp 5.2, which supports redirection of network
printers.

My guess is that it isn't the client, but the printer model and
driver which is preventing redirection.
Have you checked the EventLog on the W2K TS?
