Printiers.....HELP!

I was hoping someone could help me. Here's the issue:

I have a domain user that signs onto a Terminal Server which is not
part of the domain. (She signs in as as a local user for that server
with admin. rights) When she signs in NONE of her printers come up.
Not even the ones locally attached to her machine. If I sign in as
administrator then the printers on her system come up.

I checked on the TS and found that she was in there as a local admin.
I checked all AD and local user properties, and made sure that the
printers area was checked. I even checked security properties on the
printer.

If I sign in with her name on the TS I am able to connect to her
printer (on her local machine) as long as I use my local admin.
credentials. I tired signing on with the domain first to see if it
made a diference. It doesn't. It seems that if I sign in with her name
on the TS, map the printer using admin credentials, then I can print.
However, upon logging out and back in I have to do it again because
although the printer is in there, it doesn't allow me to print to it.


Help!!
 
Re: Printiers.....HELP!

Is the rdp client configured correctly for printer redirection?
Which version of the rdp client is she using?
Are there any warnings or errors in the EventLog on the server when
she connects?
Don't map the printer manually, that's only confusing things more,
because the port will change for every session.

RDP client is configured for printers. It's the version included on
Windows XP SP2. In the event log it I see a message stating that the
printer could not be installed. However, when I sign in as admin. I
can see the printer, and print to it.
 
Re: Printiers.....HELP!

Could you please post the EventID, Source and exact text of the
description field of the Event that you see?
