Hello All,

I just wanted to see if someone knows a way that you can detect if a
user has a local attached printer remotely (whether it be USB or
Serial or LPT) almost like bringing their Printers and Faxes screen to
a remote PC.

Thanks,

cmschube
 
If the printers are shared, one can open the printers folder remotely

Start / Run
\\remotemachinename

double click Printers Folder

if you have admin access you can change settings at this time.
