Not sure if this is networking group stuff or not.
I have small office LAN with two users that Remote Desktop Connect from XP
at home to the Terminal Server, Windows 2000 Server. Both have printers that
install with an .exe which configures their pc for the USB printer, i.e. HP
officejet g55.

How do I install an XP driver on the W2k server so they can use this over
the RDP link? The configuration allows lpt/printer connection but I can't
seem to get the XP driver installed and it is different than the W2K

TIA
 
On the Win2k Server install the XP drivers as a local printer on a terminal
services port - eg. ts001. You may have to have a TS client connected in
order to have TS printer ports available in the Add Printer wizard.
