I have a Windows 2000 Server and a Windowds XP Pro
machine that uses RDC to connect to it over a LAN. The
user on the XP machine uses Peachtree Accounting that
must be run from the server so offsite clients can access
it. Up until about 3 days ago everything was working
fine, but suddenly, the client on the LAN can no longer
print to her local printer through RDC. When you connect
through RDC, it shows no printers are installed. I can
go to the server and print to her local printer and I can
print to it from her local machine, but can't even see it
through RDC anymore. Anyone have any ideas? I have
tried installing it from the server, and while I can then
see it thorough RDC, I can't print or even access the
properties for it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian
