Windows Server Forum / Windows NT / Terminal Server / February 2006Cannot see local printers
Using XP Pro SP2 with all updates installed I cannot see my local printers when I connect to a remote Win2003 terminal server using remote desktop. I also cannot see the local printers when connected to a WinXP Pro SP2 PC. I can see my local drives when connected to either the XP Pro machine or the terminal server. The local printers are not connected directly to the remote client PC (unless you count Windows Fax and a PDF printer driver). They are all shared printers on the local network the remote client is connected to. I definitely have Printers checked in the Local Devices groupbox. What am I missing?  Signature.Bill. That requires client 5.2.3790 minimum to be installed on the XP client, instead of the rdp client that comes with XP. You can find client 5.2.3790 as package "msrdpcli.msi" on your 2k3 server in the windows\system32\client directory.

I can now see one of my printers (an HP LaserJet 6P on my local file server). The next question is why can I not see any of the other printers? For example, I cannot see a Canon i950 that is connected to the same server as the LaserJet 6P and I cannot see my PDF printer. Is this because the drivers for these printers are not installed on the Terminal Server? Signature.Bill. That is correct. Either the driver names need an exact match, or a mapping needs to be created: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;239088 stefan http://www.printingsupport.com >> That requires client 5.2.3790 minimum to be installed on the XP >> client, instead of the rdp client that comes with XP.
