Printer Redirection

[Guest]

I have a client that has 2 PC's in theirlocal office that connect to their
main network thru a VPN connection. Once the VPN connection is made they use
an RDP connection to access a Server2003 to run a specific application. I can
go into Printers on the server and not all of the local PC printers are
showing up; some are some aren't. I am looking for any info on setting
up/troubleshooting this problem.

For printing to work, the printer drivers for each printer must be installed
both on the remote server PC as well as the local PC.

In addition, some USB-connected printers might not work without Registry
tweaks.
