I posted this in the WinXP newsgroup but haven't received a response over
there. Perhaps someone her can help me.
I have WinXP Pro set up to allow remote desktop connections. I'm connecting
with the most recent Remote Desktop client from a Win98 SE machine. I'm not
getting the printers on the remote computer to show up in the session on the
host. The specific printer is a Brother HL-1440 connected via LPT1:. If I
click on Options in the client before connecting, Printers is checked to be
shared. If I check the Drives box, I can then see all the local drives from
the session on the host. There's not even a Terminal Services error in the
Event Log -- though I was getting one when I had a fax printer installed
previously. I removed it to simplify things for testing.
Anyone know what the criteria is for getting the printer to show up
remotely? Do I need to have the printer driver installed on the host? (I
do now.) Anything else about printer name, driver version or anything else
like that that I need to look at?
Thanks,
Mike
